Politican Mike Johnson says we need to let politicians trade stocks because they need the extra income.
He says: “Have some sympathy. At least let them engage in some stock trading so they can continue to take care of their family.”
Congress earns 3x what the average American make and he’s asking for your sympathy lol.
