If anything it's not going far enough. Corruption should be considered high treason and lead to public executions.

As a common citizen, very few things in this world are more demoralizing than witnessing corrupt politicians get filthy rich while trading favors, embezzling money, creating loopholes for corporations to exploit while pretending to regulate them or whatever else it is that they do, there are so many scams it's impossible to enumerate them all. It breaks one's spirit to realize that it's the honest and the just who get punished on a daily basis while the corrupt get constantly rewarded. That is an incalculable crime against society and should absolutely be severely punished.

If they don't like it, they can just not be a politician. Nobody asked them to seek power, they fought to be there. Normal citizens get to go to jail, not them.

Then blame shifts to the little guy being the scape goat. I mean it already happens in corrupt countries.

  • Revoke their right to privacy. Normal citizens get to have privacy protections. Not them. They are in power to serve us. We should be entitled to know everything they are doing at all times. Let's see them try to scapegoat anyone then. If they don't like it just resign.

    If a solution isn't working, it's probably because it's not extreme enough. Always go further. If they try to weasel out, preempt them. We aren't dealing with innocent lambs here. These are rich elites who graduated from top universities, high functioning sociopaths who absolutely have enough education and mental acuity to know right from wrong. They take an almost sadistic pleasure in not only subverting morality but in getting away with it. They don't just do things, they rub it in our faces that they did it and got away with it, and think us fools for not stopping them.

    Corruption is power without responsibility. The more power you have, the more scrutiny you should be subjected to and the more consequences you should suffer.
