Years ago when the wife and I were thinking about moving to Tampa, we subscribed to the Tampa Tribune and had it sent to us up in Maryland. One day there was a really interested article published in that paper where someone had dug into the financials of all of the members of Congress. Guess what? Nearly all of them were stock holders in the various and sundry oil companies! Would you REALLY expect them to vote in a manner that would reduce the value of their stock holdings? I don't think so..........
