Agree

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

Preventing insider trading by friends and family of members of Congress addresses the broader ecosystem of potential conflicts of interest and abuses of power, which is in line with Democratic Capitalism's emphasis on ethical governance. However, it doesn't address the core issue of members' own stock trading activities directly.

Agree

No

From the perspective of Democratic Capitalism, prohibiting members of Congress from trading stocks might align with ensuring that public officials act in the best interest of the public and maintain ethical standards. However, it could also be seen as overly restrictive on individual economic freedom, a core component of capitalism.

Agree

Yes

Democratic Capitalism values individual freedom, including economic freedom. Therefore, it would generally support the right of individuals, including members of Congress, to trade stocks. However, this score is not higher because Democratic Capitalism also values transparency and fairness, which could be compromised if members of Congress were allowed to trade stocks without any restrictions.

Slightly agree

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

While real-time public reporting of trades could increase transparency, it may not be sufficient to prevent insider trading or conflicts of interest. Democratic Capitalism values both economic participation and ethical governance, and this measure might be seen as too lenient to fully protect against abuses.
