A normal person's investments get around 4-6% increase per year. A politician's investments get 25-35% increase per year. It's hard to rationalize that happening across the board without insider trading. Obama very publicly "held politicians accountable" with the STOCK act and then very privately pulled it's teeth a couple months later (keeping it technically illegal while making it all but impossible to investigate). Politicians should not be permitted to pass legislation concerning their conduct. Perhaps it should be put to state and national ballots as appropriate with a direct vote from the people.
