Members of Congress trading stocks is insider trading
Plain and simple
Ban congress people from trading stocks, as simple as that 🤷 If they want to trade stocks, don't go into f-ing congress
A toddler even understands this

You are an example, ACT LIKE IT

Don't feel sorry for members of Congress for a second btw
They act like they are poor bastards who ONLY earn about 175K (!!). about 3 times the average of the US household
A lot of people who kill for that income and I'm pretty sure the average American works a LOT HARDER then Congress

They work much harder than Congress and don't have any sort of vacation

given how much temptation they are subject to in the form of bribes, both direct and indirect, it would be good to increase their salary, a lot

Saying we need to ban politicians from insider trading insinuates it is currently legal.
