The goal is to remove an incentive to pass bad laws that benefit someone's personal finances. You're looking at this from the wrong direction - instead of asking "why shouldn't they be able to invest based on their knowledge", ask "why shouldn't they be able to pass laws based on their investments?"

that will happen regardless of the monetary incentive

I don't know how to contextualize this. There should be no slaves.

Hopefully, they are invested in their community, their city, their county, their state, their country. I don't know where you want to go with this. Obviously some people are... invested differently. Don't vote for these people

> You're looking at this from the wrong direction

we have different viewpoints, this why it seems this way
