that’s what money flow should look like.

community (town, city) donates money to people, who then use it to buy goods and services from companies (which make a profit that way) that are then taxed by the community.

    Even without lobbying, just the act of becoming a representative gives you power, at that point what’s holding you to uphold any promise towards people, the people are held to the contract using the policing, but the representative is just trusted, even without lobbying or outside influence the motives and power dynamics don’t make much sense

      Well it’s supposed to be “do what the people want you to do or we kick you out”. That’s one thing I will give the UK, their “votes of no confidence” where they can just kick the PM out any time are pretty handy to keep them on their toes.

      Public office shouldn’t be “locked in” it should be “we keep you as long as you serve us, change that and you’re out”
