  1. Styx's logic is nice and neat--but it's analogical..."a house divided against itself cannot stand" is allegory, not reason. If I have investments, I would naturally like to optimize them. But if I'm also a politician, I'm wary of the illegal and unethical, as they threaten my viability. So, if I'm a straight-up person, I'll neutralize my investment concerns in as far as my official responsibilities are concerned. If I'm NOT a straight-up person, the lure of corruption will eventually entangle me in an effort to benefit my investments by my official activity. Then I can be caught and eliminated from voter interest. I really don't see a problem with politicians having investments. After all, currently, they all do! Insider trading is not illegal for congress critters...yep. They've even tried to pass shit to MAKE it illegal for them to do insider trading--it failed to pass. hahaha
