And I agree with that. It should apply to ALL those assuming positions in any government offices, including state governments since guvnars wield a lot of political clout that can benefit industries/companies. If you are elected to Congress and/or appointed to positions in the government where you can influence industries/companies all of your personal investments have to be moved to mutual funds, AND!! I think you can't park all of your money in just one either. Have to spread it out over several large, publicly traded funds like American Funds, Fidelity, Vanguard, etc...Originally Posted by Guisslapp
Now, in the case of Donald Trump, and others in a similar situation, physical assets, like hotels should be placed under the management of an independent firm...maybe enter into a 4-year contract, with the option to renew for another 4 years, whereby Trump's company would receive a set/fixed amount annually thus rendering any direct influence moot. Of course, since elections are in November and office assumed just two months later there has to be provisions in place prior to said elections...just in case and said financial arrangements go into effect the day after the election, if the person in question wins.
Now, one might say, well, what happens if the 4-year deal management company does a lousy job and runs the business into the ground? Oh well! The affected party can sue for mismanagement and maybe win some compensation. But, that is part of the "sacrifice" folks have to make to be a true servant of the people. NO WAY should poor-ass politicians, like AOC, end up multi-millionaires. And NO WAY should Pelosi be allowed to manipulate spending bills to benefit herself and her family, as she (and others) has done.
I was thinking about joining the Libertarian Party, but Brennen has labeled it as a terrorist organization and I don't need the jackbooted FBI thugs beating down my door!
