If Congress can't trade stocks using inside information, why would anyone go into public service to get rich? That would be silly.

If they passed this bill, the only people who'd run for Congress would do it to serve the country.

Apparently that's a bad thing, according to Mike Johnson.
🚨NEW STUDY: Lawmakers' personal stock returns jump 47 POINTS when they become congressional leaders & get access to non-public info.

The study arrives as House Speaker Johnson today said he opposes an anti-corruption bill banning lawmakers from trading stocks.

What stage of corruption is this?
Congress’ Leaders Have A Capital Gains Problem
Congressional leaders perform 47 percent better than their peers on the stock market, thanks to their increased legislative influence and access to nonpublic information.

It’s true. We shouldn’t pretend that. Trumpist culture is not the same as American culture and not equal. Trumpist culture is proudly ignorant, defiantly against America’s founding values and subsequently developed values, venomously bigoted, and generally despicable.
Fox News' Will Cain: "I’m sure there are very honorable law-abiding upstanding citizens and contributors from the Somali community here in the United States, BUT..."

He goes on to say "we aren’t going to pretend here that all cultures are of equal value or the same."
