No reason to punish good politicians. We just need a way to hold them accountable. I like the idea of putting a freeze on individual stocks while in office. Not sure about the book signing restriction, though I agree it's a way to launder money.

We could take this idea and do the same with journalists, too. Make all news non-profits and give the public the opportunity to oust bad journalists.

Yeah keeping good ones would be great but it would create the same problem you just got rid of. All of the old members are there because of their money and power. Most of them are viewed favorable in their own districts.

Journalists would be great to make them non-profit but that wouldn't do enough. You would probably have parties funding them or running like NPR. It really wouldn't change anything other than the owners not getting rich. Maybe tag them all as opinions and force them to remove news from titles, shows, pages, etc. Not sure how to fix that other forcing only facts to be printed and no anonymous source stuff. Then heavy fines and closing if you print untruthful info.
