Politics is not a place for servants of the public to become wealthy, and yet they are.
I propose a social media app similar to X or facebook where every public servant and their immediate spouse, has their Investment portfolio/s available to be accessed and seen by the full scope and scrutiny of the American Public.
In 2005 Nancy Pelosi was elected Speaker of the House, and had a net worth of just over 20 million. Today that number has grown to over 250 million. She is not the only one. This has been happening from both sides of the US Political Spectrum.
I remember reading that for a Midwest state, a congressman bought stocks in a water pressure dial company. A month later, that exact company earned a multi million dollar contract in that Congressman’s County, Skyrocketing their share price.
It is time for politicians to do their job, not get rich off the information they are privileged to have.
