Very strongly agree

No, and their investments should be held in a blind trust

Socialism seeks to reduce the influence of private wealth on political decisions and promote the common good. Requiring members of Congress to place their investments in a blind trust would help prevent conflicts of interest and ensure that elected officials prioritize the needs of the people over personal financial gain. This aligns with socialist values and would likely be strongly supported by proponents of socialism.

Socialism emphasizes the importance of public welfare and reducing the influence of private wealth on political decisions. Prohibiting members of Congress from trading stocks while in office would help prevent conflicts of interest and ensure that elected officials prioritize the needs of the people over personal financial gain. This aligns with socialist values of promoting the common good and reducing the influence of capital on politics.

Agree

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

Socialists would likely support efforts to prevent insider trading by friends and family of members of Congress, as this aligns with their goal of reducing the influence of private wealth on political decisions. However, this answer does not directly address the issue of members of Congress trading stocks themselves, which is a key concern for socialists who seek to prevent conflicts of interest and prioritize the needs of the people over personal financial gain.

Slightly agree

Yes, but with strict protections against insider trading

While socialists would generally prefer a complete ban on stock trading by members of Congress, they might see strict protections against insider trading as a step in the right direction. However, this answer does not go far enough in addressing the potential conflicts of interest and the influence of private wealth on political decision-making, which are key concerns for socialists.

Neutral

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

While real-time public reporting of trades might increase transparency, it does not fully address the potential conflicts of interest and the influence of private wealth on political decision-making. Socialists would likely argue that more comprehensive measures, such as a complete ban on stock trading or requiring investments to be held in a blind trust, are necessary to protect the public interest and promote the common good.
