Do not allow congressman and senators to be able to profit by insider trading knowledge.
This should also include family members and spouses!

There should be a sales tax on stock sales.

Better idea: mandate that any trades they or their immediate family execute need to be posted to an easy-to-use database. We already have such a database for insiders to post trades, per SEC regulations, so why not simply extend that requirement to politicians and thus allow outsiders to piggyback off of their insider knowledge?
