If you are going to be in charge of where my taxes go, who gets to make the rules of our society I need to know that you are doing this for the common good, not for the good of a few folks who are paying for your campaign.

Your taxes for the past ten years will be published in full by the IRS and the states in which you’ve lived.

The donors to your campaign will be listed including the amounts they have contributed. And anyone who contributes more than $1,000,000 in cash or in-kind is automatically disqualified from holding any government position.

A principle of common law is that justice must not only be done, but it must be seen to be done. The same applies to the appointment of ambassadors, heads of departments, cabinet officers, and all the way down to staffers. If their only qualification for office is the size of their contribution they are, de facto, not qualified.
