Removal of corruption in public office  |
|
 In order to remove corruption from public office we need to return to the solutions which worked in ancient Greece and Rome.
Every politician should have his salary based on the average salary of Americans when computed without the top 5%. If they desire a raise they know what to do and if they can't do anything about our wages they have no business serving us in office.
Every politician that is found accepting a bribe including his family is to have all assets confiscated.
Any corporation or organization that attempt to bribe, threaten or apply undue influence for selfish interest are to have all assets of the executive board confiscated and the corporation is to be turned over to the government. Should this be a religious institution the Church is to loose all assets and be banned from practicing.
Any more suggestions on how to straighten out this mess humorously referred to as a free country?

21.  tarachand (2294) | 3 years ago |  I don't think that the solutions suggested by you are fair and just, and practical. You are looking at it from only one aspect. I can't term them even drastic.
One person can't be penalized for another persons's faults, the politcian may be corrupt, his family memebers could be innocent.
A coproration is run more efficiently by private players, not any government in the world can run a company well consistently. One board member may be guilty of graft without the others having knowledge about the malpractices of their colleague, is it right to punish them? and what of the employees and the family members of the non-corupt personnel of the company? Why should they suffer?
A church or any place of worship is a place where people meet to reinforce their beliefs that someone out there is there for them. Just becasue of corrupt officials in a place of worship, how can you penalize the adherents that meet at the religious place?
And most importnat of all, what happens to all the confesticated assets? Who is to judge who needs what?
The best way to stop corruption is not to pay bribes yourself, and if possible help the law trap corrupt people if you can.

 Gnosisquest (779) | 3 years ago | Thank you Tara; you state just what the corrupt officials would like you to state. It has never worked and never will; the corrupt does not desire you compete for their ill gotten gains so they tell you just to mind your own business.

| tarachand (2294) | 3 years ago | Better a thief gets away that an innocnet an suffer is my take, and I am not willing to accept anything else on this. ( I have been and am a businessman, never have been employed by the governemnt and have never been in a postion to take a bribe for favors, I am not in a psotion that I can grant them)

| Gnosisquest (779) | 3 years ago | I respect your opinion but we differ greatly regarding this question.
It is not only one innocent which suffers under these tyrants it is every good person in society. Furthermore the suffering never ends as long as they are in power.

| tarachand (2294) | 3 years ago | Well don't vote them or raise such a hue and cry that they are forced to step down. America erred when she re-elected a cheat, Bush Jr. won the first time by cheating, and won the second time around on the bodies and blood of the dead, whether it was the 9/11 vicitms or the American soldiers in Asia, or the dead Asians themselevs.
But I am going off at a tangent. Bring the corrupt to book, but don't harm an innocent person, and every person is innocent until proven guilty, otherwise the world would end up in arnachy and would not be a place fit to live in. | |

22.  bhuvahsya (1663) | 3 years ago |  Why do so much things. Just legislate a law that awards death penalty for corruption and just see how our useless elected fellows fall in line. I know that this system works, in China everybody pays their taxes regularly because default or evasion or fraud attracts death penalty.

| 23. billNted (37) | 3 years ago |  I think that is one of the more brilliant things I have heard in a long time. Makes perfect sense to me. There is really no excuse for the corruption and lying that goes on today in politics. That is a simple and logical way of doing it too. I would vote for you though. Keep enlightening our people, they need it...

24.  1234paresh (192) | 3 years ago |  i think all the people those who take bribe should be punished for under the law of national crime isn't it?
because by taking bribe they are cheating to their respective country.

| Gnosisquest (779) | 3 years ago | Those that take bribe steal from every citizen in a country. Those that offer bribes are preventing the government from operating for the people who lives in a country.

| Gnosisquest (779) | 3 years ago | The reason for all the crime and corruption from high office is greed. The only thing those people understand is money and power; stop the flow and they will have time to listen.

26.  huggiebear22 (1297) | 3 years ago |  After reading what others have posted i cannot see a way for it to work for a few reasons 1) people are motivated by greed 2) the old what is in it for me 3) the honor has gone out of politics before it was a true measure of ones worth 4) entering into the public service is for some a career move gonna take a pay cut for a few years then when they do nto run again or step down there are companies linnig up to hire them for what they may now or for the influence they still have 5) so long as companies adn people can donate huge amounts of money thru various means we are never gonna get honset people in there.

| Gnosisquest (779) | 3 years ago | What has always happened in the past when no honest people can be found for governing is a revolution.
There are two types of these revolutions; the peaceful one's where you get something better. The violent one's where you end up with something worse.
There is no way out of it; if nothing is done that is the way we are headed and without the buffer of the middle class it could get real ugly.
