  1. As someone who lives in FL, Mr. Scott, I would like to say fuck you, and fuck your millions. No one wants to be poor, especially hard working families.

    You are supposed to be PUBLIC SERVANT. The mere fact that you are worth millions means you are a lobbyist schill and not a public servant.

  2. If they need to invest it should be in funds where their up front knowledge will not benefit them

  3. Ready for the lukewarmest take ever?-

    If you are in politics to make money than you are not a person who should be in politics. If your focus is on things that benefit you then you aren’t likely to make decisions that benefit anyone else.

  4. The issue isn't that people make money. It's that the government shouldn't do the bidding of the uber-wealthy.

    Oh, and Senator Businessman, how did you make your big bucks? That's right. Medicare fraud.

  5. Why would anyone listen to a guy who perpetrated Medicare and Medicare fraud, pled the 5th, walked away with hundreds of millions? Except of course the moron voters of Florida who apparently love the fraudster

  6. Scott is a poster boy with what is wrong with the country. He likely has a gilded copy of the Powell memo in his home office.

  7. Divine right of the wealthy to increase their advantage to increase their privilege and power -

    Who still believes this is still a government “of, by and for the people”?

    Which people?

  8. Well he's used to defrauding taxpayers of millions, having started with Florida Medicare...

  9. Rick Scott, formerly the CEO of Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation, was involved in a major Medicare fraud scandal that resulted in the company paying a record $1.7 billion in fines to the federal government.

  10. How does a senator convicted of Medicare fraud get elected. You would think he would have to hide in shame the rest of his life, but not if you’re a Republican. By republican in mean Rino.

  11. I don’t want to see him ripped; I want him jailed and barred from office. In China they would have executed him (just a reminder since he likes non democratic governance so much.)

  12. he ripped off Medicare and now he wants to rip off Americans who trade stock

  13. Let's not forget that this is the same jackass who perpetrated the largest medikare fraud Murika has ever seen. Of course, he would support some underhanded fuckery as insider trading

  14. The clear and obvious conflict of interest inherent in Congressional stock trading is indefensible and inexcusable. It should never have been allowed and must be stopped.

  15. If they make a fucking dime off the office that the people who elected them to, the people should get a cut of that money. If their salary isn't enough, find a new job. Their job is to represent the people who voted for them. If they can't do that, we'll find someone who will. When we say jump...

  16. The stock buying is an outrageous flaunting of privilege among those who make decisions that affect businesses. Conflicts of interest have been thrown under the bus.

    Florida's most reptilian senator making his excuses- a few years after running a fraudulent "Health Care". He should be in jail.

  17. As a Federal employee, I was limited as to what kinds of stocks I could hold. I can tell you that I didn't make nearly as much money at a Congressperson!

  18. We shouldn’t be surprised that a man who would commit Medicare fraud would blatantly engage in insider trading and then complain about not being able to get rich.

    Who. Is. Voting. These. Self-indulgent. Fuckers. Into. Office?!?!

  19. They act like they're going to be in power forever. They are not, and when we're back in, they're going to pay a price...

  20. The headline is too short:

  21. Skeletor defrauded Medicare of hundreds of millions and got away with it! Now he wants to end SS and Medicare! He got his so the rest of us can buzz off! Same with insider trading. It’s illegal, but that won’t stop Rick Scott!

  22. Governor Greg Abbott just said the Dems who fled the state to block a quorum for redistricting may face a "SECOND DEGREE FELONY" bribery charge. "It would be BRIBERY...these legislators sought money to skip the vote."

  23. No one wants to be poor, and if our government wasn’t so corrupt a lot less people would be poor due to medical debt.

  24. It’s amazing how arrogant and disconnected these people are from who they supposedly serve.

  25. It would be nice to be rid of him also. How did he get re elected again also. Amazing how Floridians continue to vote against their best interests.

  26. Scott has always used his "public service" role to enrich himself. I wouldn't expect a corrupt crook like him to ever vote to limit opportunities for corruption in Congress.

  27. I think he is viewing the wrong chart as to what is 'poor'. Poor is like golf....only lowest score loses.

  28. Suggesting somehow “ I can’t do things the right way,” says Medicare-fraudster Rick Scott. The arrogance!

  29. Maybe he should not be a Senator. He has lost sight that Senators are there as servants of the people and not to line their pockets with gold.

  30. And they don't even know what poor is that's the scary part PS there should be an integrity test to be in any representative seat

  31. Keep in mind that the company he headed ripped off Medicare and Medicare and had to pay a $1.7 billion fine. The low-life needs to recoup those funds somehow.

  32. Senator Rick Scott (FL-R) was called out after he defended his position that members of Congress should be allowed to trade stocks - saying it's okay because he doesn't "want to be poor."

    Sen Scott confirms GOP truth: Enrich the rich (net worth over $260 mil), even if it is illegal for all of us!

  33. Why do these super-rich people need any more money? They have more than they will ever need.

    Their greed has twisted their minds to the point they are willing to inflict harm on the nation and other people so they can hoard even more wealth.

  34. You're there to do a job asshole. Typical republican jerk. Has a history of major thieving so maybe he should just shut his mouth and go get a new job.

  35. "Essentially, Rick Scott was the CEO of a company that was found responsible for a massive Medicare fraud scheme. While he wasn't personally charged, the company paid substantial fines, and Scott resigned amidst the controversy."

  36. You’re doing the same thing Martha Stewart went to prison for. What’s the difference except you have a penis!?

  37. A billionaire and a MAGA whining about being poor. How much money does this Alfa Hotel (a**hole) need and when does it become too much?
