If all politicians take advantage of insider trading, and trading is the main perk to why they hold and retain office, do not expect Democrats or Republicans to eliminate it.

No but an uncontrollable deficit did. Has anything done more to further liberalism than state debt?

It was actually gangrene that killed Louis the 14th. Louie the 16th was the guillotine.

Well maybe if Louie the 14th had ended the monarchy, Louie the 16th would be alive today.

Just selfish.

Louis XIV built Versailles.
Louis XV lived in it.
Louis XVI paid for it (with his head).
