We treat America like a business and the candidates are hirees. But because they are going to be public employees and they want to "work for the people" I think there are some things we need to go a lot further than we normally do.
(Section A) 1st, they submit a blind resume. The resume is as follows:
- Voting (political) History (public -in-office voting if they have any political history)
- Employment History
- Income History (where do they get their money and how much)
- Contributions (to/from)
(Section B)If they pass this first section they get to interview with the American people via TV/Internet/in-person
- Subjective Qualities
- Subjective Ideologies
- 8 hour Q&A from the general public with breaks.
-----------Section A and B will be repeated each time they pass the go up from local to state to national.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(SECTION C) If they pass this
- Full Public Financial Audit.
- Full Public Extensive Background Check.
- Other forms of scrutiny.
If they pass this they are then added to a list of final candidates to vote for.
- People will then vote based on Objective, and subjective qualities
- There are no party lines.
I propose the guillotine method for our present batch. Then start over.
