Proposed Constitutional Amendment #28 "POLITICAL FINANCE REFORM"
A single mechanism to incentivize Congress to eliminate their financial dependence on, and all financial connections to, private non-taxpayer funded income and benefits, (including but not limited to special interest groups, corporations, labor unions and individuals), by replacing with tax dollars all personal and professional income and benefits, both during service and after, with strict enforcement laws, thereby ending legalized political bribery.
In exchange for illegalizing private money revenue streams/connections for elected officials both during service & after, we agree to add a zero to congressional pay and pensions: budget $3.5 billion/yr ($2 bil/campaign funds - $1.5 bil/salary & pension adjustments)
