Just a silly idea.. corruption is hard to stop. Politicians can rack up benefits while they're in office. They can secure all sorts of deals - comfy jobs, bribes, dinners, sex, connections, etc.
I want to stop this completely. Our lawmakers should have 1 thing on their minds - to make laws for us.
So, just a crazy idea, they simply cannot enjoy any benefits - until they are 65, or something like that. They should not use politics for their enjoyment - their work needs to be for the 99.98%.
