Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota is a man of relatively modest means, according to financial disclosures. In fact, he doesn’t own a single stock. Like other members of Congress, Walz even slept in his Capitol Hill office for some time.
minus-squareJackbyDevlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·4 months agoYeah, I don’t own stocks. I just have a 401k and shares of VTI, VXUS, and VOO in my IRA and traditional brokerage. But I don’t own stocks! To be honest though, I don’t see a problem (or at least as big of a problem) with politicians owning total market index funds.
