- Mr. Kroft the statement that you do not like to investigate our government people in Washington...for coruption ...
Tells me that you are not doing a good job of informing the
American People of the theives and criminals that are passing bills in their personal self interest and not passing bills designed to help and to protect the American People from coruption in government...
You should not be excepting this type of assignment...
You are just reporting what you have too..With out digging into the depth of the coruption that put the American People in this mess while they worked and paid their taxes..
You do not seem to mind the fact that coruption in government has destroyed the homes, jobs, etc...of the American middle -class people...Or how could you feel uncomfortable going after those responsible if not by doing personally but through knowledge of the wrong doing that has put the American People on their knees..
Your position of being in the top 1% is now a fact in more ways that just $$$ and cents.... - Reply to this comment
- Thank you for a great report! I haven't watched 60 minutes for quite some time because the show has become so partisan, but I saw a segment on Dr. Mercola's website. The only comment I have is that every Republican rep was labeled as such but any Democrats were just given their name. If I hadn't looked up the reps (other than Pelosi) I would have thought it was purely a Republican problem when it is across the board - no party exempt. By keeping this going and NOT favoring which party gets 'revealed' you can do much to help the country get back where it belongs.

- Any investigative report that helps shine light upon the closed corridors of power is welcome. However if not already discussed here, an 11/14/11 article by Ryan Grim (Huffington Post, about this 60 Minutes piece) should also be considered. (URL follows. This comment poster has no connection with Mr. Grim or his story publisher.)
Did Steve Croft's report omit some pertinent details?

- Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Steve Kroft and 60 Minutes for your this alarming story and two other just as alarming stories (Master Thief Lobbyist Jack Abramoff and Republican Cartel Leader Grove Norquist).
Please keep them coming, and OWS! - Reply to this comment
- If congress can act on insider stock information and acquire stocks for personal gain why not raise taxes substantially of everyone in congress-AND the lobbyists, because they are the ones who got us in this financial mess in the first place! Why is it always the true taxpayers that suffer? Warren Buffet said he doesn't really pay his fair share in taxes, perhaps along with many others. This would be a great start in the reduction of our tremendous debt.

- Just curious why the Republican Congress members were identified by their party whereas Democrats were not? Pelosi, wow, nice response...

- Finally some good reporting worthy of a journalist. My only concern is Mr. Kroft's comment that he doesnt "like to do that stuff," (ie, put someone on the spot). The fact is that in a democracy journalists play a critical role in providing the people information. We need journalists, not entertainers, who are willing to ask the tough questions.
