Description
American politicians are invested heavily in the Stock Market.
American politicians can MANIPULATE the Stock Market, with their policies.
Nancy Pelosi owns $2.5 Million in Tesla stock. Tesla would not even exist, if it weren't for heavy government subsidies.
Elon Musk is a billionaire, but he and Tesla would go bankrupt, if they were not supported by Government money.
Therefore, any change in the way Government treats Tesla, affects the stock market value, and Nancy Pelosi's $2.5 Million investment.
Dianne Feinstein is damned near a BILLIONAIRE now, because she's been shoveling sweet government contracts and deals to her husband.
We know that many politicians have engaged in "Insider Trading", by trading stocks that they KNOW are going to be affected by their policies
This is illegal, but they still do it. Who's going to stop the politicians from breaking the law? They are supposedly 'policing' themselves !!
Using your political office for personal gain is a crime punishable by prison time.
Unfortunately, nobody in DC ever gets caught, because they're all in on the scam.
Politicians could be invested in Mutual Funds which give back a solid return and don't affect the market. It's much more 'honest and ethical'.
But apparently our DC politicians don't give a flying fuck about what's honest or ethical.
Maybe we need a law that makes it illegal for any politician, including their spouses and family, from buying/selling/trading stocks.
I guarantee you, that one rule change would hurt Democrats way more than Republicans or Independents.
