as for politicians.
i agree if politicians make a pledge to do something. their salary and all other hidden incomes should be on the line. it all gets put into a trust and they only get access to it if they achieve their goal.
then they will suddenly work faster to complete things.
a voting system can work. after all millions of people vote on americas got talent each week. so why not have a secure system where citizens regularly vote on legislation.
the hardest task would be setting up a way to ensure each person has a private wallet key that identifies them to ensure people cant just sell their keys to their nearest corporate lobby group offering to buy their vote
I fully agree with you. The salary schemes and retirement packages need to be put more public for politcians and there should be more laws against abusing power and still receiving benefit. The problem here is that politcians won't likely make any laws that will result in a negative impact for themselfs. Why would they ever limit their salaries or hold themelf acountable. In my country we can see it every year. The salary increase for politicians is always higher than the increase for the average worker or the retired people. It will be hard to change these laws ever.
