THE BOOK WASHINGTON DOES NOT WANT YOU TO READ How is it that
politicians often enter office with relatively modest assets, but
then, as investors, regularly beat the stock market and sometimes
beat the most rapacious hedge funds? How did some members of
Congress know to dump their stock holdings just in time to escape
the effects of the 2008 financial meltdown? And how is it that
billionaires and hedge fund managers often make well-timed
investment decisions that anticipate events in Washington? In this
powerfully argued book, Peter Schweizer blows the lid off
Washington's epidemic of "honest graft." He exposes a secret world
where members of Congress insert earmarks into bills to improve
their own real-estate holdings, and campaign contributors receive
billions in federal grants. Nobody goes to jail. Throw Them All Out
casts light into the darkest corners of the political system -- and
offers ways to clean house. "Throw Them All Out is filled with
stories of petty theft and so-called 'honest graft' . . .
Unsparingly bipartisan in [its] criticism of Washington . . . Mr.
Schweizer has performed a valuable service to his country." --
Washington Times
