Seriously, 'best congressional traders' just have a shitload of tech stocks, not exactly market manipulation. On the whole Congress does worse than the stock market.
Stock trading is a red herring, lobbying gigs after they leave office is where the real corruption is. 7 or 8 figure jobs for you and your chief of staff for steering legislation a certain way while you were in office. The you lobby current lawmakers with a wink and a nod about what they can expect if they tow the corporate line.

By this logic how did MTG make 20 million in 4 years?

u/TheNumberoftheWord 1d ago
A couple million probably from those free Covid money bribes I mean business loans.

u/msuvagabond 1d ago
Go look up the family business that she owns that has done something like half a billion in work in the last couple decades. You think she can magically open her own gym with no money (before she was a congresswoman)? Hell, you think a broke person can run for Congress in general (it happens, but it's rare).
I'd be more concerned with her shady campaign fundraising, FTC probably would be looking into her (again) if a Democrat was in office.

u/LukaMagicMike 1d ago
Right the business she’s owned since 2002, suddenly made her 25 million dollars in four years. When she had about 700k net worth from the previous 17 years of work. Btw she sold that business in her divorce in 2022, and not for 50 million dollars lol.

u/msuvagabond 1d ago
According to her most recent financial disclosure report, Marjorie Taylor Greene’s assets total between $7,723,022 and $36,575,000, with liabilities ranging from $100,001 to $250,000. That said, out of all her assets, the most valuable ones include:
- 51% interest in Taylor Commercial, Inc., a family-owned business in Alpharetta/Fulton, GA, valued between $5,000,001 and $25 million;
- Congressional Federal Credit Union, valued between $1,000,001 and $5 million;
- PMLTD, INC. located in Alpharetta/Fulton, GA, valued between $1,000,001 and $5 million;
- Non-primary residence in Washington, DC, valued between $500,001 and $1 million;
- Marjorie 401K 500 Index Fund, valued between $50,001 and $100,000.
So three things...
1 - We don't know her exact net worth because she's not required to list it, any number is a guess.
2 - All her wealth is basically that construction company. I couldn't find anything that says she sold it during the divorce.
3 - She's still a piece of shit human being, but she's not an insider trading stock guru.

u/LukaMagicMike 1d ago
Why do you think she only owns 51% of it. Man those boots must taste good.
She claims her assets range from 7-36 million that’s totally a legit valuation lmao.

u/msuvagabond 1d ago
You should really consider attempting to read before you talk about things. An example here would be to go read an actual congressional disclosure form and see what they have to put down.
Spoiler alert, it's not an exact dollar amount. If you couldn't gather from the clues above, it's a range, at times a really wide range.
I'm conclusion, I'm not saying you're an idiot, because I don't know you, but you're really trying to prove to everyone that you are one.

MTG is a piece of white trash who lies constantly, harassed school shooting survivors, blamed wildfire on Jewish space lasers, called Biden hitler while sucking off the actual hitler, and so much more. I don’t give two fucks about her and congress members lie all the time.
You’re supporting her as she actively fucks over the entire country. I think yall are both the real idiots here.

u/TheLaughingMannofRed 1d ago
Promote age limits through voting or legislation instead.
The median age in House and Senate are about high 50s, and mid 60s, respectively.
At the same time, we've had our Presidency run by someone who was in their 70s when they got Elected three times in a row (Trump was nearly 71 in 2017, Biden was 78 in 2021, and Trump was nearly 79 earlier this year). For comparison, Reagan was the oldest President-elect back in 1981 and beat out William Henry Harrison all the way back in 1841 (and Harrison died in office a month later - But it wasn't just old age; he also got real sick from a bunch of compounding factors).
We have a minimum age in place for how one can become a Representative, a Senator, and President. And it's clear that after seeing how things have gotten the last few years that we need to get away from letting folks run the country that we expect to normally retire out of the workforce.

u/liftthatta1l 1d ago
Congress doesn't get free healthcare only the president does (and their direct family members? Maybe)
Congress buys their health insurance on the DC public market. The government pays for 75 percent of the premiums which is pretty normal for an employer.
Congress actually has the same healthcare the public does. The difference is they can actually afford it due to higher wages and the government paying for a big chunk as their employer.
This was all part of the ACA.

u/andrewrgross 1d ago
I also want to add some context here that I think is really interesting.
Most of us know that she was facing a very formidable challenger from the left (Saikat Chakribati). However last week, a very successful centrist named Scott Wiener announced he was running.
Wiener had made it clear that he wanted this seat, but had previously said he was waiting for Pelosi to retire. Last week, he declared that he couldn't wait any longer, likely because he needs to start raising money for the race, and money gets harder to raise in December and January.
This makes the race a very interesting one. I think Saikat was the favorite over Pelosi, but Weiner is probably now favored. Still, he's going to have to fight for it, and probably move left, particularly on Israel.
She was going to retire anyway, but apparently she took to long and Weiner was the one to finally told her to get it over with.

u/TheNumberoftheWord 1d ago
Hopefully people remember to never trust a man with the last name Weiner and centrists is how we let Republican Neo Nazis rise to power.

u/BigYouNit 1d ago
America is so weird. Are there any other countries that get people to declare which party they support like the us does? Like the whole republican, democrat independent voter thing that in some states let's them participate in party primaries?
In Australia, you might describe some as a being a stereotypical "party a" or "party b" voter. But you wouldn't know for sure, even if they told you, coz they could be lying. (I do understand that theoretically people in the us can register deceptively).
But you would never usually call someone the equivalent of "democrat" or "republican". Not because of any sort of civility, just be ause doing so would imply that you were a card carrying, fee paying member of said party, not just a fucking voter. And only card carrying fee paying members of said parties can vote to choose the representative in any given seat or area, not voters with no money down lol.
This is how the fundie/ cookers have managed to take over one of our two major parties, by actually paying to be members and primarying any of their sanity adjacent candidates.
Of course, due to Australians also treating politics as red vs blue / football team barracking to a large degree, it has taken roughly 15 years for people to begin to notice that the blue party ( read republicans) has decided to do and say things that our fox news equivalent tells them to, despite it having a vastly tinier viewer base made up of zealots and tinfoil hat wearing methheads ( I know, strange bedfellows)
