I'd go further and say they should be forced to put all assets other than their primary home into a blind trust for the duration of their time in office and 12 months afterwards. Might reduce people from making a career out of being a politician, but that would be a good thing. Too many cases of middle-class representatives and senators leaving office decades later as multi-millionaires. Politics should be something people do out of a sense of service, not to become wealthy.
