'Hey you're not a lawmaker you can't do that!'

In America there's no law that says House/Senate members CANNOT use insider trading information. How much bullshit is that‽

It's literally the worst thing you can do in a democracy. Allow your representatives manipulate/be manipulated by the stock market
