    First thing I would do , all the politicians get to punch a time clock and they get $20 an hour , no free health insurance , gotta pay for that like the average person , and the government is going to take 20 percent out of your check each week ! That's it , let's see you survive on that !

    We should follow the model of Singapore. They pay their public officials well (seven figures, I think) but bar them from trading stock during their time in public service. Their level of corruption is very low.

      No, no. All the stocks are miraculously traded by her husband a week before she votes on bills affecting the companies, completely without any knowledge of how his wife may vote. Nancy has absolutely nothing to do with it what-so-ever.

    Why is it up to the voter to hold their elected officials accountable. Dont we have rules, laws, and systems in place that (in theory) are supposed to prevent where we’re at now?

    • @TheSoltys666
      @TheSoltys666 3 дня назад

      Those systems and rules are and were being changed by those people in power for decades. People in power don't vote to make themselves more responsible and liable for failures. Only the voters can hold them responsible.

      There are several sanctions: in party -- primary a sitting official in the next election; out of party - vote them out; recall; impeachment, removal (Santos, Franken, for example). The problem we face is that the party system protects miscreants like street gang thugs. The founders warned us about political parties, which they called "factions" - some of them did, anyway. And this is one of the reasons why.
