A short monologue by Ryan Daniel Moran arguing that politicians should be allowed to trade stocks; rather than restricting individual politicians’ financial actions, he advocates limiting government power and policies that can affect businesses and the economy.
Should politicians be able to trade stocks? Yeah. Yes, they should. We should not limit politicians from trading stocks. What we should do is limit politicians from making policies that affect companies. If we didn't have a terribly bloated government that could make decisions that impacted businesses and the economy, then we wouldn't have to worry about what politicians did with their money. The solution is not to restrict individuals. It's to restrict government. Put the handcuffs on the power that politicians have, not the individual's ability to make decisions. We should restrain government, not the individuals that make it up.
