№ 397: White Plight: a crime example

USA Today: Rep. Chris Collins says he's innocent on insider trading charges and will run in November

Federal prosecutors have charged Collins, one of President Trump's earliest congressional supporters, with insider trading on Wednesday, accusing the congressman and his son of using inside information about a biotechnology company to make illicit stock trades.

Rep. Collins is also charged with making false statements to the FBI.

What's wrong with insider trading?
Why is it breaking the law?
If you're well-off and connected. . . 
that is what friends are for!
How is this bad? It is so sad
that you're punished for having pals.
Next thing you know, so long status quo,
they'll be banning goosing the gals.
It's getting so the best men you know
are probably going jail.
In the short run it is much less fun
being born rich, white and male.
