The people that we elect into government positions should be required to make all of their income statements public information. These government officials are elected by the American people and should be willing to display this information. Also, these government officials should be required to submit to a audit of all of their assets to ensure that the elected officials are not part of any financial corruption before assuming the elected position.
This requirement is not just for the American people to know what our government officials are earning but it will also help build trust within the officials elected.
