Difficult to believe that the business dealings of our representatives don't get in the way of their decision making.

Just picking the guy on the top of that list as an example:

Darrell Issa was elected to the House of Representatives in the year 2000; the Issas subsequently sold their controlling shares in Directed Electronics, and the company is now managed by Jim Minarik.

And Yahoo! told me earlier that Trump has sold off the final few shares of the DAPL or whatever.
