Ok class, discuss.......
The thing is, King George III wasn't really that tyrannical.
One of the biggest problems with politics is the money flow. When a person can enter politics extremely poor, yet leave with near billions (for some locations), something is ****ed up.
I propose that all politicians have their bank accounts frozen til they leave. They get access to a "Salary Account" which entails their earnings for the year. They are to be audited at every turn, during and after their time in office. Any illicit money coming in will send them to jail (but not the spender).
