LIVE POLL: Should members of Congress be banned from owning and trading stocks?

John,

Corruption is one of the leading causes of public distrust in the government.

So when members of Congress prioritize shady stock trading over the needs of their constituents, there’s a problem.

Thankfully, Democrats like Senator Elizabeth Warren are sounding the alarm:

Members of Congress are privy to insider knowledge, and when they use that knowledge to buy or trade stocks, it’s considered insider trading – which is illegal.

Elected officials should be held to the same standard as average citizens, not be above the law. But we want to hear your thoughts: Do you think members of Congress should be banned from owning and trading stocks?

We look forward to reading your response.
