How bad do persons running for office want that job? Read my idea and see if you agree with me.?
The reason that we keep getting lousy politicians in our cities and in congress is because they have nothing to lose.What if every person that ran for office had to put up some collateral.No matter how much money you had,a person would have to put 2/3 of their entire savings up as collateral.If they do a good job or at least show they tried to do a good job,they keep their savings, but if the public votes they did a lousy job,they lose 2/3 of their net worth and whatever pay they received from that position.This method would weed out those who mislead and abuse their positions.There would be no court appeals and if voted a failed official,they can never run again.I'm sick of congress persons and city politicians doing whatever they want and not paying for their screw ups.If that person really believes he or she will be a good politician,they should have no problem in agreeing to this unbreakable contract. Do a good job,politician gets rewarded. Do a bad job,politician gives up 2/3 of his or her net wealth.I think it's fair.
These people want to sit in these political offices,they should have something to lose.Most positions come with a nice salary and benefits.

I agree with you. This would help to ensure that politicians keep the promises they make during a campaign. The way it is now they do not have to be held accountable for lying to get elected, but everyone knows what money can do to a person. If they knew they would lose most of their money for not carrying through with their campaign promises then maybe they would work extra hard to keep those promises.

Yeah, but that would be a huge gamble, so very few smart people would take it, in fear of losing almost everything. Really, the only President in 50 years who would get their money back would probably be Reagan, because he managed to look like he did a good job. In reality, he is largely responsible for the economic crisis.

The pay is already low.
I think it would discourage people from running
