Dem Elaine Luria slams proposals to ban stock trading by lawmakers: 'This whole concept is bullshit'

[Dorian Gray]

5. I agree

I DON'T think that they should be forced to sell their holdings upon winning an election, though I do think that they should be put into a "blind trust." Which should be a streamlined process for them. (They can keep their money managers/etc. But the trading happens without their knowledge based upon their manager's instincts.) Or put it into index funds while they're serving their terms.

For Luria not to realize she has access to info that the rest of us don't have, which gives her a corrupt edge in investing.... Well.... I bet she's smart enough to realize that.

Very few people will vote against their own benefit.
