He says: “Have some sympathy. At least let them engage in some stock trading so they can continue to take care of their family.”

Congress earns 3x what the average American make and he’s asking for your sympathy lol.

As a civil servant?Not wallow in cash? We are very humble servants.” Jeez
Maybe we should make a law that insists that being an “elected civil servant” should be unpaid volunteer work! How’d you like that?
(Yes in all honesty this wouldn’t work well unless thoroughly thought through, but for Pete’s sake 🫩 these representatives have no shame , humility or morality. I just think maybe they don’t need or deserve this job anymore)

Surely they can now transfer this wisdom to apply to those less affluent!

I saw signs but didn't know what they were. 2) She got millions from buying and selling stock that I'll never have. (The other side is obviously exponentially worse and it still makes me angry.) They're public servants not public oligarchs.

Stop being such crybabies over corruption. Politicians and their family that they cheat on & are absent from, need to eat.

I say, they can eat the rich.
