Populism

Very strongly agree

No, and do more to prevent insider trading by their friends and family

This answer strongly aligns with populist goals of reducing corruption and conflicts of interest in politics. By prohibiting members of Congress from trading stocks and taking additional steps to prevent insider trading by their friends and family, this approach would help ensure that politicians are focused on serving the interests of the people rather than their own financial interests or those of their close associates.

Agree

No

Populism would generally support measures that reduce the potential for conflicts of interest and corruption in politics. Banning members of Congress from trading stocks while in office could help achieve this goal. However, this answer does not address the need for additional measures to prevent insider trading or ensure transparency, which are also important populist concerns.

Agree

Yes, but with strict protections against insider trading

While populism seeks to reduce the influence of special interests and corruption in politics, this answer only partially addresses those concerns. Strict protections against insider trading are a step in the right direction, but this answer does not go far enough in ensuring transparency and preventing conflicts of interest.

Slightly agree

Yes, as long as their trades are publicly reported in real time

While real-time public reporting of trades could increase transparency, this answer does not fully address the populist concerns about conflicts of interest and the potential for insider trading. Populism would likely prefer stronger measures to prevent politicians from using their positions for personal financial gain.

Strongly disagree

Yes

American Populism generally seeks to reduce the influence of elites and special interests in politics. Allowing members of Congress to trade stocks without restrictions could lead to conflicts of interest and insider trading, which would go against the populist goal of ensuring that politicians serve the interests of the people rather than their own financial interests.
