Government positions

One of the biggest Issues I find with government positions right now is their payroll. It was meant to be an honor to serve the american people, and their wages were never to exceed the average american. We have gotten away from that and I would like to return. I propose a law that no individual working in a government position whether its FBI, president, police, supreme judge or anything else cannot make more then $100,000 per year. Bonus's cannot be given or received, and no government official is allowed to accept "gifts" of any sort while serving or campaigning.

I also would propose a change to our election process's. America's citizens have proven themselves to vote for the most popular person in their party, which means whatever republican spends the most money campaigning will typically be the one to receive the most votes. This has to change. Not only is it wrong and keeps americans misinformed it also causes the politician to accept money from companies in return for promises to try to pass bills or keep pressure off of them or other things.

I would propose that all government positions that are voted for cannot be campaigned for, instead every candidate every weekend is placed in a room were they are asked to explain their beliefs and their intentions for the country, and so forth. Each weekend they will be asked new questions and this will continue until the week of elections. No candidate is allowed to spend money to campaign whatsoever, and any candidate found spending money campaigning will lose their candidacy. They may maintain a website explaining themselves but cannot advertise it, it will be listed on a government site and that is all. This includes interviews or media outside of the normal weekend showings, anyone caught doing any of this is removed from the candidacy.

Absolutely no candidate can state a party affiliation, parties will be eliminated. This system allows citizens to vote for the person they honestly feel is the best person for the position. Each interview each week is available online for each candidate and NO media outlet is allowed to air the interviews or any portion thereof. Period.

Candidate videos will be listed in alphabetical order and each candidate will be asked the same questions in the same way as every other candidate.

With this system ANY citizen may run for any position whether they are poor, rich, old, young, experienced, inexperienced or whatever. Everyone has the chance to get he position so long as they receive the most votes.

This system plays for every position, and again Media outlets are not allowed to share opinions footage or anything in regards to candidates. Eliminate throwing stones, false stories, attacks, biasness or anything else. Winners of the candidacy are announced the day after the last votes are counted and only then may media outlets speak about the winner.
