Insider Trading is Already Illegal !!!
We don't need NEW laws for or elected officials. They are not above the existing laws! Just enforce the current laws and make our elected officials pay for their indiscretions. Just because you can doesn't mean you should! and they definately should not be making a profit from Insider Trading. (at least not without offering those illegally gained profits to our US Treasury to be used for the general good) after all it was made from taxpayer dollars. Call a Spade a Spade. A crook is a crook and it doesn't matter if he wears a suit and tie and has access to the WhiteHouse. Their weapons of choice are the laws they make and pass for their own benefit. For the most part, not all, our elected Senators and House Representatives are not there for the people but for their own pocketbook. They have NEVER suffered a cut in pay or have ever gotten laid off. They have never had to do without because every one of them have always been wealthy for more than half of their lives and have no clue as to the suffering condition of 20 to 25% of Americans. They have never voted to turn down a pay increase because every yearly increase for ALL Senators and House Representatives is AUTOMATIC based on cost of living indicators. The last pay increase took effect during our worst economic crisis since the great depression and not one of them voted to turn it down or even stop gap it. This proves where their ethics lie. Congressional paychecks cost the American people in excess of 75 Million dollars per year not including "aids" or "gophers". And also remember people that this was all done on a majority Republican congress, not Democrat and it only takes a majority to pass.
