"When Congress members consistently outperform benchmarks like the S&P 500, it raises serious questions about fairness."
Why are they allowed to play the stock market? Is it not a conflict of interests? Edit: Typo
They're incredibly smart people. That's why they're in office. It's only natural that their smarts would cascade over to markets. Nothing to see here. /s
They're capitalists, in that they capitalize on their insider knowledge and send others to jail for doing the same thing.
It's not insider knowledge when politicians do it since they're not insiders of the company with more knowledge about the company than other people. They just happen to control the political environment and the contracts they get 🙃
Wow, crazy that members of congress are on average better than most investors, maybe they should change careers!
No.. Seriously.. Please change careers...
NANC
KRUZ
Two of the safest investments you can make
Didn't know what these represented till i googled them😂
I got a kick out of it when I found em
Thanks for the tip. I just checked them out.
"Keeping the Rich rich and the Poor poor since forever."
SEC for thee, but not for me.
duh. its codified, theyre allowed to legally perform insider trading by their own decree.
Fun fact.
As an investor, you can ride their insider-trading coattails legally by investing in the ETF's NANC or KRUZ.
Surprised Pikachu face
Makes me want to turn to a life of crime.
Yeah but you have to have a lot of money to get elected.
FeloniousPunk for Congress.
I pledge a chicken in every mosh pit
Problem is, unless you're rich and powerful crimes tend to have consequences - they only "just let you do it" when your account balance already has a certain number of digits...
We should riot
Rioting? In this economy?
Won't ever happen. Americans are complacent fools. They'll starve themselves for years if you promise them bread tomorrow.
Lead the way...
So many more comments calling for revolution, riots, and assassinations than there are in actuality.
Easier to talk big talk I guess.
Oh yes by all means. Occupy Wall Street worked so well.
Occupy wallstreet was a peaceful protest, which started to work, so the media shut it down.
These L.A. wildfires are either approaching or have already hit rich people neighborhoods, and aren't expected to stop anytime soon.
It wouldn't surprise me if these fires started with the idea of burning the elite in mind. I'm not saying that's the case, but if it is......damn. Last I heard these fires already did like 3 billion in damage. If they hit the mansions it'll probably trillions.
And once again Pelosi is highlighted despite many Republicans outperforming her in the market.
She hasn't been Speaker of the House for 2 years.
I'm an equal opportunity rule enforcer. Throw them all in federal prison.
I mean, we should just set up a big pitt. Like in that movie 300.
