Good luck with that. I believe that would cut off quite a revenue stream.

Useless. They'll have spouses do the dirty deed for them.

Need death as the deterrent.

Exactly. Rules like this are irrelevant because they're so easy to work around through friends and family. Just look at Hunter Biden.

This rule would actually help in that scenario because it's illegal for Hunter Biden to inside trade and legal for sitting members of Congress. He's getting away with his corruption because of a lack of will to prosecute.

The bigger issue is that it would require businessmen to leave companies they work for or are board members of. It would basically disqualify some of the most qualified men in the nation from serving in Congress

Guillotines should make a comeback. Death to any politician that breaks the law or abuses power

Not as useless as you might think. The questionnaires from the SEC include spousal behavior disclosures.

I like your death option, though.

She thinks no one should individually own ANYTHING, and like a good socialist, of course she exempts herself and her friends.

I sort of agree with her on this one thing.

If legislators want to own their own productive capital they can have a blind trust, anything else brings with it various inherent conflicts of interest.

Problem is, my friend, she will not abide by her own reasoning. She is a demoncrat, and a scumbag socialist, so though you have a fine point, do be careful about agreeing with it or it will feel encouraged...

No dummy, they should be prosecuted for insider trading like the rest of us peasants.

That would amount to the same thing. Members of congress have such a broad range of insider information, they wouldn't be able to invest in anything.
