A Simple Plan to Eliminate Future Money Scandals

The following may be a a fairly simplified view of how to eliminate dishonesty in our Government but bear with me here and think about it. The concept would “fix” a lot of problems we now have with our political choices.

IF we eliminated the access that politicians have to our hard earned tax dollars would as many politicians apply for a job in Government? I think not. To have unlimited unfettered access to a never ending supply of cash is a very tempting reason for someone to give up their private life, morals and status quo to dip their little clammy fingers into the “public trough”!

Who can blame them?. Like a young child given the keys to a candy store, do you think the child has any boundaries when they are alone with tons of sweeties and nobody around to say: “NO!”

Here is the plan:

Form a PRIVATELY owned and run "Trust Fund" where every red cent we have to fork out in the form of a tax charge and that includes GST, gas taxes, land taxes, well, you get it. This Trust Fund could be managed by members of our private large Banks who we already trust with our savings and investments. Totally eliminate the Accounts Receivable, if one exists, in Revenue Canada, and only keep the Accounts Payable who would then answer directly to the Trust Fund management before any bills could be paid.

No monies would be released for contracts, personal expenses, salaries, overhead expenses, Welfare Payments, EI Premiums, OAS or any other requests for money without an invoice duly itemized and signed by the individual and department. Mmmmm?..........sounds just like a privately owned Canadian Company operating with a Controller overseeing the payment and a legitimate Accounts Payable Department that keeps a daily audited balance sheet. In addition to being exceedingly efficient, a Trust Fund privately operated by the public would be subject to the laws of the land and anyone operating outside the law would be confined to a prison sentence, not a public rebuke during question period.

A publicly run agency that handles our money in a manner that is efficient, controlled publicly and totally transparent. What’s wrong with that picture? One thing.

Any politician or potential politician who is not 100% honourable and honest about why he has entered politics, possible for the “good of the country” would never want to get into this business unless they had unlimited access to the so-called “public trough” of money. Not to have access means they have to be people of their word, promises kept and possibly a “servant” of the people like it was originally intended. To be called a “servant” is utterly beneath most on Parliament Hill……..they “look after US” , the poor unfortunate workers whose earnings are being at least halved every week with taxes that seem to fall into a black hole somewhere amongst the rabble calling themselves “our leaders”.

Enough ranting. Think about it.

Without unchecked access to our Tax Dollars how many people would remain as full time “politicians”? Very few indeed!
