“WE NEED TO LET THEM DO INSIDER TRADING TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES.”
Congress makes $174k.
Median income is about $63k.
Minimum wage is $7.25.
If your “public servant” needs Wall Street crime to survive, that’s not a government, that’s a cartel.
Welcome to neo-feudalism. You’re the peasant, they’re the aristocracy.
I still can't get over the fact that this MF is bitching about "ONLY" making $174,000 per year, and they only work for an average of 130 to 160 days per year!!!!
Hence, they want to be able to use all of their inside information to trade stocks. It's bullshit.
Here’s the part no one is saying:
The next president won’t get a real first term.
They’ll inherit a repair job.
Rebuilding alliances.
Restoring credibility.
Undoing damage.
An entire presidency spent fixing what Trump broke.
I’m going to say this real slow for @MikeJohnson:
The Iranians control the Strait of Hormuz BECAUSE of Epic Fury.
They have this leverage BECAUSE Trump went to war without a plan.
The American People are paying hundreds at the gas pump because YOU refuse to stand up for them.
So if Congress can’t trade stocks they can’t take care of their families @SpeakerJohnson? Many struggling Americans who can barely take care of their families would be thrilled to live on a $174k salary with no stock trading
