Full Text: Finance Reform 5
Campaign funds, including party contributions from political
parties and PAC‘s, and the expenditures of campaign contributions
shall be audited by the I.R.S.or state revenue agent with such audits
made fully public in all detail at least one week before swearing
the victor into office. Let us employ these humorless auditors to
make a meaningful examination of campaign receipts, and expenditures.
Whatever you feel about them, they still are as a class, the most
focused and objective examiners of fact followers of complex code
that we have in our society. Why not use these proven talents to
scrutinize the behavior and spending of our politicians?
Real time posting of all campaign contributions would make this quite do-able.
Victors with multiple (say 5 or more) violations should not be sworn into office
until trials for any multiple violators be had. And would trials before swearing
in of occasional political candidate be such a bad thing? Certainly juries occasionally
must review the behavior of politicians. The delay in swearing in of an occasional
politician is far better than letting lawbreakers being lawmakers.
Why have rules if you don’t mean them. Why put in office those who haven’t
followed our laws. Law givers should not be above the laws. Let us begin by swearing
into office only those who follow these enumerated limitations.
