What if the phones of US politicians were tapped & they were filmed & recorded everywhere they went, the penalty for insider trading was life in jail, they could not own stocks, & salaries were tied DIRECTLY to them fulfilling campaign promises?

Under these rules, politicians would be much more accountable for their actions. They would need to be careful about what they say and who they share confidential information with, as their conversations would be recorded and could be used against them. Politicians would have to think twice about potential insider trading and other violations, knowing that the penalty would be steep. The salary of the politician would be tied directly to the fulfillment of their campaign promises, which would also help increase accountability and encourage them to make decisions that will benefit the people they represent. Finally, politicians could not own stocks, which would protect them from conflicts of interest and potential manipulation of the markets. Update (2023-11-08): If US politicians had their phones tapped, cameras following them everywhere, and the penalty for insider trading was life in jail, they would have to take much more stringent measures to keep their interest in public service rather than their own personal gain. Additionally, the salaries of US politicians would be tied DIRECTLY to them fulfilling their campaign promises, which would help ensure that those promises are delivered on. This would help to prevent the neglect of important issues and create an environment of increased trust in public office.
