In America, social status is synonymous with money. The clothes you wear, the car you drive and even the job you have help form your perceived social status. Perhaps you’ve heard the urban legend about the bum collecting coins from pedestrians, but has a mansion in Beverly Hills. Because the bum is seen in a submissive state, begging for money, people immediately assume that the bum is lower class. Anyone who understands the power of perception can use it to their advantage and increase their social status without having more money.

Dating expert Jeremy Hamburgh once said, “When women dress stylishly for a? situation, they feel bulletproof.”

Another highly wished for gift

Few journalists and media outlets have been bold enough to speak out against the issue of congressional insider trading. If you are asking yourself “what in the world is congressional insider trading,” you are a testament to our point.

Currently, the U.S. Senate and the U.S. Supreme Court are the only two entities that have no rules or laws prohibiting members from profiting off knowledge gained on the job. According to a study issued by the Center for Responsive Politics, between 2008 to 2009, Congressional members posted a 16% collective stock market gain while during this same period the majority of Americans lost money and the NASDAQ fell 8.4%.
