Politicians don't seem to be bounded by insider trading which is why so many Senators and Congressional members are so super wealthy, while investment bankers are bounded by all types of insider trading laws and regulations.

That is aside the fact that politicians seems to vote by the amount of money they get from companies and therefore their opinions are influenced by money.

All the good or whatever the politicians, once stood for while running has changed by big money!

Trump changed the process of not accepting all the money as his predecessors did which I applaud him for.

Shouldn't everyone in Congress and Senate and local government officials, disclose amounts over $ 10,000 that they get as an endorsement so it is on their websites and open for the public to see! And not that the public has to do research on the companies history of who they gave money too?
