Hi I am of the opinion that people in politics are rationally beholden to the people that pay them…
Could you create a “Money out of politics” law that
1.Bans All donations.
2.American Government creates a Taxpayer Funded Account that is distributed equally to
different parties…($15-$20 Billion per year?) Split up evenly.
3.Perhap once a potential politician gets 10,000 signatures on a local level they qualify for a
piece of the national funds to campaign with. The opponents Get the same amount.
- No Pacs/Super Pacs… no donations or dark money.
The Idea is to make the politicians 100% Beholden to the People that pay them… the american Taxpayers Not a bunch of Lobbyists and Companies.
There could also be a 5-10 year ban on joining a company or being hired for “speaking events” after serving to cut down on bribes coming in after service but they also keep a healthy pension.
All this will make the President have to stop worrying about donors and work with the people.
