This might cost me some points with the judges but I already discussed this previously. So I want you to start the argument and tell me your reason is why lawmakers should not be banned from investing in stocks.

When you say lawmakers can learn plenty without buying stocks, we're talking about the lawmakers gaining a financial advantage over the working class. Because the information they have and the power they hold, they're able to pass legislation or try to pass legislation that benefits the stock market they're investing on. It is not about what they know, but rather what can they do with the information they already have. Thank you.

Once again, you're relying on gut feeling. I disagree that lawmakers will find a way around it. We have a complex judicial, legislative, and executive system that they will not be able to find a way around. Once again, we have checks and balances that would keep those lawmakers and politicians adhere from taking an advantage on the stock market. And while the working class can benefit from investing into the stock market, they do not contain the same information that a lawmaker has. And rather, the regular class does not have the power to pass a law that would benefit them, but the lawmakers do. They at least have a more leverage to play with to pass a law than someone who is not actively working in the government or any of the branches.
