Political Equality | Project: 117 - Koons for Assembly

All politicians on all levels of government will be treated equally, regardless of their political affiliation.

Stock trading and investing will be heavily monitored and politicians or their families will not be allowed to use their positions and insights from their positions to acquire advantages not available to average Americans.
This simply refers to holding ALL politicians, regardless of their position, status or political affiliation to be held to the same standards across the board. For example, you want to see the Governor's tax forms, fine, EVERY State Assemblyman and State Senator must produce theirs as well.

If we are going to get back on track, we need ALL politicians to be held accountable and responsible for their actions EQUALLY!

Another area where Political Equality needs to be implemented is in stock trading and investing. Insider Trading is illegal and the average American faces steep penalties and prison if convicted yet politicians are exempt from this rule as long as they do not share any information that they are privy to due to their positions. In the last couple years this has become a hot button topic as politicians and their families have invested in, or "dumped" stocks before major legislation has been introduced or signed into law. This is one reason why politicians not only stay wealthy but rarely lose wealth in trading; because they have inside knowledge on the future of trading and how their legislation will affect those stocks. This entire scheme to ensure that politicians do not lose money needs to be completely revised and made to fit the same standards are upheld for all Americans.
