@Lana Okay how about this, too: politicians & parties are fined whenever they don't hit healthy economy & society benchmarks - eg. if tax revenue falls below the level required to provide existing services & balance the budget, income inequality increases, more people lose healthcare coverage, personal delinquencies increase, more industries monopolized - those politicians shouldn't get paid, and it should be harder for their party to win subsequent elections. We can't reward failure by choice.
