Many politicians are getting extremely wealthy while in office.
Create a bill that would stop them from doing what citizens are not allowed to do which is essentially insider trading.
Many are using knowledge not privy to others to make investments.

To expand on this I would state the ban is for buying, selling, or trading stocks while in office, with the exception of managed portfolios where the member has no control of the trading on that portfolio, such as IRA’s, mutual funds, etc… This ban should include immediate family, unless they are in the financial management business prior to member taking office. In that case, Any trades that include businesses affected by current legislation under consideration should be investigated to insure they don’t involve insider information. All violations should be treated by the SEC as insider trading and prosecuted as such.
