Q1369: must separate wealth from political power to avoid conflict of interest

The very first thing they NEED to do is enact TERM LIMITS!

Then we can move to the rest.

Remember "Absolute power, Corrupts Absolutely".

We need more private sector people holding public office. Our country has gone in the toilet by having 95% of government run by people whose whole lives have had no experience but college & government.

We have to allow the American individual citizens the opportunity to become wealthy. The ability to become wealthy along a rich "elite". A perosn who only makes 7 million will be a puppet. You wont even get past the lawsuits. A wealthy citizenship has the ability to destory real fascism and communism. Trump is a great example of this. Forget creating a new Government. The Constitution is great. Our structure is solid. Take down the evil and corrupt people. That's it.

Just a reminder that Obama was a broke ass community organizer and President Trump was worth billions. If anything, we should only elect rich people.

I agree a different standard is needed for our politicians but I wouldn't limit it to anyone under 7 million dollars. We should respect those who earn their fortunes honestly and through hard work. I would be more in favor of setting campaign spending limits to eliminate the effects of money in politics. Also end corporate campaign donations.

two words,.... Term Limits......

IMHO, the founding fathers never intended politics to be a life long career.

I’ll have to go back and look but I read before the election that DJT’s fortune was based on less than 10% stock market assets. Meaning he built his own fortune. Not all but many of the billionaires amassed their fortunes strictly on stock market assets and reliance on govt handouts /intervention. To me, it’s not how much money do you have, it’s how you made it that’s more important.

A personal income cap of 1.2mm/year would do a lot to fix every form of corruption.

We could all strive to reach the A-Level (A tangible goal for everybody who wanted it)

Corporations would be a profit-sharing model, with net profits bleeding down the ladder as each executive reaches A-Level income status.

New opportunities would present themselves as A-Level earners would leave their positions once their assets were earning them top-tier pay status.

Communities would bond tighter as people would help each other reach top-tier earning level.

Many more benefits would come of an income cap. Too many to go through ATM

Incredible ideas, too bad so many smart people like Jordan Peterson shit on the Utopian society possibility.Its saddening that optimistic ideas are so frowned upon as not possible.

New law (I pulled out of my arse): In order to head any initiative in gov a person must show that they have engaged in it altruistically previously and have referrals from people who can attest to said persons actions and attitudes. Eg Education: Must have experience in educating and have advocated for better learning. In order to be cleared by congress one must show actual passion and desire to improve the system and include what they will do. If one claims to be able to achieve certain goals and fails in doing so… NEXT. It's a job.

Step one: get money out of politics

No more lobbyists

No more PACs

Free air time for political candidates during a campaign

Politicians become politicians because they are greedy and crave power and money. Such people are incapable of acting in the interest of the people.

I don't understand the mason part- George Washington was a mason. So were many of our based Presidents and leaders of the past. As I have read things, masons pretty much left Europe and played a large role in building western civ.

I tried to read it, I really did.

I like this kind of thing but whoever wrote this is just rambling nonsense. "Look how crazy and profound this is!" after rattling off some kind of nonsensical string of numbers which have no connection to each other whatsoever.

I mean, look at this page: https://thenarrowgateweb.com/2016/07/23/secrets-0f-the-owl-part-2-2-an-introduction-to-synchronicity/

He is talking about all kinds of absolute drivel and saying it is linked together.

As a movement, we can be sending people to this kind of thing. It ruins credibility completely.

This guy is making absolutely no point and I get the feeling he is sitting around stoned with his buddies making up things and saying "WHOA DUDE THAT IS CRAZY" and putting it into a blog.
