Guess who writes the laws? People who are neck deep in insider trading to the point where the speaker of the House outperforms some of the best performing hedge funds. Don't hold your breath on this one. And the law would need to be signed by a dude whose son "sells art" for $75K apiece and takes jobs he himself admits are only offered to him because he has the right last name. And finally, if by miracle such a law were to be passed and signed, to enforce it you'd need to go to a judge who's also corrupt as fuck and trading stocks from the bench, and whose mortgage on his third beach home would be jeopardized if he was to agree with you. It's rotten all the way through now.

The husband of the person you mentioned was already well off before she was in politics. Better yet, it was because her husband success that she worked for 20 years for free for the party.

  He's much better off now. A genius grade trader. It's a goddamn miracle. Warren Buffet doesn't even come close to such prowess. What's funny is everyone knows these are pretty damning facts that are not good for the country in the long term. And yet my posts will be flagged anyway.

    Waren Buffet doesn't even invest in tech. Something her husband did before she was speaker and he already had much success before.

      He does. Berkshire owns a ton of Apple (114 billion dollars worth) and some other tech/pharma companies. But hey, if you think insider trading is so wonderful and ethical, let's make it "fine" for everyone and abolish stock trading windows at major corporations, as well as restrictions on execs. Why should only congresspeople be able to partake?
