Hold on, I don't mind 90% of public paying jobs being able to invest.
The problem really lies with the fact that Congress is privy to information the peasantry isn't, and can either sell their votes for that information or other guarantees, or legislate for their personal gain.
Anyone related to any member of Congress, high end of Executive (President, Vice President, chiefs of staff, etc.) or judiciary should not be allowed to trade for a minimum of 10 years after they leave those positions.
They need to live the majority of the time in the area they represent. Only going to DC like once a quarter maybe to handle any business unless something major is going on. But I feel they can be at home researching and writing in plain English stuff then sharing and researching before going to DC to discuss and vote on it
I'm pretty much good with all of these. My only nits to pick:
They should be able to use their own private vehicles to commute, but pay in some fashion for parking e.g. have to slot coins in for time or otherwise.
They should have Obamacare as benefits, but be able to seek out better healthcare completely separately, on their own dimes, with no subsidies from their government employer.

Sorry, I go further. If you are a public employee, you should:
Mandatory drug testing also, every other federal employee has to. So should these fucks, and at random.
Excellent, I’ll add it.
Surely their only healthcare being goobermint healthcare would incentivize them to expand goobermint healthcare? Seems shortsighted.
Hopefully not necessarily expand it, but make it better. Aren't VA hospitals generally bad?
No private jets or mansions

You can't expect our betters to write in plain English for us to easily understand what it is they're trying to do to us!!
I like it
They should only be able to get rides on regularly scheduled military aircraft.
