No. That is not the way.
All members of Congress should be precluded from increasing their wealth beyond what can be added to their wealth from their congressional salary alone.
No stock investments, no speaking fees, no other sources of income allowed for members of congress. (And heavy scrutiny of their family to insure they aren't trying to use a back door.)
Congress should not be allowed to gain wealth. They should be forced to either choose to serve, or stay out of congress.
Term limit Congress!
That's how you get monkeys and psychopaths in Congress. What sane and intelligent person with a family or business obligations would sign up for the brutality of politics, AND to be poor?
The real answer, is ALWAYS, we have too much government, and we have fake money.
