Hawley took heat from fellow Republicans on the committee for advancing the legislation, including Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), who accused his Missouri colleague of demonizing the wealthy.
“I don’t know when in this country it became a negative to make money,” said Scott. “How many of you don’t want to make money? Anybody want to be poor?”
The bill doesn’t demonize the wealthy, it rightly demonizes those who use their public position to increase their personal wealth at the expense of their constituents, you dildo. If you are in public office to make money, then you should not be in public office.
Rick Scott got his political start with the largest Medicare fraud in history of course he wants to continue anything that defrauds Americans and makes him money.

Yeah, but that’s been an old chestnut with the wingnuts forever - { someone criticizes some supposedly rich douche like Musk/Taco } - “Why do you hate successful people and hate the free market? These people are just really good at it!”

Rick Scott of course knows this already, but I’m sure some of his constituents swallowed the lie hook, line, and sinker.
Also, does Scott think we shouldn’t demonize other forms of insider trader? Seems like the country has cared about that for quite a while.
If you know anyone that works in companies involved in trading, you’ll find out that it tends to be treated VERY seriously for the average American.
If you are one of these special people, though…I guess insider trading is just fucking fine.

It floors me that “fuck off with your bad-faith nonsense, you lying piece of shit” isn’t the standard rebuttal to that.
