Members of Congress accused of sexual harassment have used your tax dollars to pay for settlements to the victims.
And to make matters worse, confidentiality requirements ensured that the Congressmen responsible remained anonymous - and safe from any negative consequences.
But the recent revelations of sexual harassment against high-profile lawmakers like Rep, John Conyers and Sen. Al Franken have uncovered this unseemly practice.
Here's what's been revealed so far...
The truth is, the GOP's sweeping plan to overhaul the U.S. tax code - the plan to create jobs and lighten the tax burden on America's wage-earning workers - is insulting.
That's because the justification for the cuts is based on hoary, old, fake tax policy narratives like: "Higher taxes on the rich hurt the economy," and "tax cuts for the rich trickle down," or "U.S. corporate taxes are the highest in the world," and "lowering taxes will bring outsourced jobs back home."
Besides being fake, nothing in any of these narratives addresses the new American economy, where more income is earned by companies and wealthy individuals through capital than through labor.
When you understand that, you'll see why income and wealth gaps are increasing all over the United States.
What's more, you'll see that the real, workable solution is in fact a few simple tax and tax-cutting ideas that actually spread the wealth.
Congress wants control over the Federal Reserve, even though the economy has never been its strong suit.
But the real reason Congress shouldn't be anywhere near the Fed? Western culture.
The Koch brothers' vast monied lobbying network is going to take on tax reform next week.
They'll be hosting a party for White House GOPers on Monday.
But this "party" is just a ploy to reshape America's tax code...
Rep. Steve King (R-IA) rustled feathers when he proposed a radical way to fund President Donald Trump's promised border wall.
While you're probably familiar with POTUS, FLOTUS, and SCOTUS, it's time to add a new acronym to your political vocabulary.
We're talking about WOTUS - an Obama-era rule that's a huge burden on American farmers...
The Koch brothers' vast, moneyed lobbying network shelled out fat cash to host the Senate healthcare bill's biggest GOP opponents this weekend.
It's not a full repeal of Obamacare, they argue. So these senators are holding the bill hostage...
...unless the Senate agrees to these two amendments, that is.
U.S. President Donald Trump has a new idea for his promised wall along the Mexican-American border...
A solar panel wall.
But there's a little problem with the wall: It's expensive...
Global tensions with North Korea have been heating up, and the White House is finally speaking up about it.
On May 28, Gen. James Mattis weighed in on what could happen as North Korean tensions escalate, saying the war would be "catastrophic."
But that's not all. Check out this short video...
Michael Robinson predicted that marijuana-hostile Jeff Sessions wouldn't win his fight against legal cannabis.
A recent trip to D.C. to meet some of the biggest players in the cannabis sector confirms it: Sessions is through.
Earlier this year, I released my 2017 "pot stock" forecast. You can access it here, but the bottom line is this forecast was as bullish and enthusiastic for cannabis investing as you can get. And recent gains in pot stocks (like those I recommended for my Nova-X Report readers in the Roadmap to Marijuana Millions "basket" of stocks) prove my optimism was well-founded.
Well, we just got the loudest, clearest signal yet of exactly how this is going to go...
Will the U.S. go to war with Russia?
We'll know more today as an emergency meeting of the G-7 member countries comes to a close with a decision on further sanctions for Moscow.
Thanks to Congress and its buddies at Comcast, Internet service providers can now spy on you and it's totally legal.
Russian President Vladimir Putin's net worth goes largely unaccounted for.
Though if the numbers being reported by some media sources are correct, he'd put Forbes' "Wealthiest Person in the World" - Bill Gates - to shame.
Are we going to war with Russia?
If so, will we win?
Military defense experts have a grim answer to this frightening question...
