We could do that. We absolutely could. But tell me, did making theft, murder, assault, vandalism, or child abuse illegal stop any of those from happening?
Criminals do not care what the law says. If a member of congress cannot trade stocks, they'll get a family member to do it for them and accept large donations to their foundations.
Well right now it's legal for them to do insider trading. They need to make that illegal.
Will it stop it entirely? No.
But it allows someone to hold them to account for a crime if we ever have the opportunity to do so.
It didn't stop all of it but many people went to prison for those crimes. Would be better than what we have now.
Came to say exactly this.
