I've said this before but of course saying things on the internet doesn't do much so I guess it's time to say it again.

A very simple idea to remove corruption is that any misuse of government powers should result in the death penalty. If those stakes are too high for you there is no requirement for you to work in the government. You can always pick another job. But the powers of the state are not a toy. They aren't a free ticket to get whatever you want. I think this should apply to all levels of government from the smallest positions to the largest. You just don't personally benefit from manipulating state powers.

If you take a bribe as a cop, death penalty. If you sell approval to the US market to foreign firms based on receiving payments, death penalty. If you use government powers to target political enemies, death penalty. If you sentence innocent teens because you are being payed by the juvy jail, death penalty. Let's stop pussy footing about it.

There would have to be a pretty high burden of proof of course. If there is any question about it, you get off. But if there is no question and you knew what you were doing, then there is no question about what should happen.

So this would apply to enforcement/bureaucrats/politicians/and judicial.

I agree with that. It's one of the criticisms I have for people who blame jews as the only criticisms they have to offer ever. With something like the Fed around some organized group capable of organizing their interests is going to take control of it. If it weren't the jews it would be someone else. You can't concentrate power without expecting some corrupt body taking it over, at least especially when in many cases there is little to no punishment.

Because if you are going to have a government of some form there is going to be some concentration of power. So you need a significant form of punishment for its misuse or whatever amount does exist will be corrupt.
