I'm a federal employee and ethics requirements only allow us to accept nominal gifts, ie. under $20. So, public officials are bound by ethics requirements that only permit accepting nominal gifts from those they regulate. Obviously, these requirements are not always followed or enforced for those who are high up with a lot of power.

I should be a honour .. As a lawyer I would say you should do the work for free, gratuit .. In the past people were selected based on experience and knowledge .. most of them did not need the money .. for them it was a honour to serve the people .. but all is distorted. We have to go back to basics .. build new from community to community like the communties in Athene in the past .. It all needs to be rebuild ..
The system is fully corrupted .. by the people who run it .. its their N@zi mindset .. or whatever you want to name it .. USSA .. or the Fourth Reich in Europe ..
Why not. The corruption is so deep what the diff. does it make now. This is a sure sign of the end of an empire. Just look at Pelosi. The congress is just now looking at passing a bill to stop illegals from registering to vote and another so they can't trade stock with insider info. Please give me a break.
in order to be able to create CHANGE - one (the individual) must think differently and then, once the "collective" thinks bigger - better - brilliantly - than like "magic" = it shifts into our wonderful new world.
if we continue to accept bad behavior and poor choices, we will continue to spin in our own insanity.
i believe we are all tired of this merry-go-round.......
CHANGE is really possible. it starts with what you BELIEVE can BE.
For example - JUST IMAGINE (for17 seconds - the following - keep reading) because it is possible!
If the CEO of each BILLION-dollar company - could also IMAGINE and then implement (A WHOLE NEW WORLD will be created) - the following:
WHY - YOU MAY ASK?
1. Civic duty as an American company (give back to the PEOPLE who have helped you create your wealth) and it will only strengthen the company's worth (since people will re-invest (in gratitude);
2. MAKES EVERY USA COMPANY that participates - an integral part of our RESTORED REPUBLIC and something to be proud of;
3. Lastly because it will feel GREAT - for are we not all here to help each other become the best version of ourselves; its the right thing to do at this time in our evolution as hu-mans.
JUST IMAGINE for 17 seconds......
There are 326 MILLION people in the united states (legal citizens).
There are 10 companies that have yearly BILLION dollar revenues from $611-BILLION (walmart #1); $514-BILLION (amazon #2); $413-BILLION (exxon-mobil #3)------- to $246-BILLION (chevron #10);
If each company (10- but there are more ) "GIFTED - a mere $326 MILLION (that is NOT even 10%) to our NEW REPUBLIC for every citizen...what would happen to america and to prosperity consciousness of everyone?
Our COUNTRY would be transformed from the BOTTOM-UP and EVERY man, woman and child, in every STATE, TOWN AND COMMUNITY would feel GOOD about money; that CHANGES it all.
PRIDE IN HOME OWNDERSHIP - clean, beautiful, re-built towns, communities; INCREASE IN ALL SECTORS - education - dining - travel - the arts - families (people will want to have a home and will now have the money for a family)!
money will flow and EVERYONE WILL PROSPER and able to begin to enjoy life.
People would begin to find work, careers that they LOVE and new ideas, new companies will be created by individuals with hearts now open and living life free from the stress of lack.
EACH COMPANY doing the GIFTING would be posted on the NEW.REPUBLIC.usa site - so that every citizen can VIEW - and can then decide what company to continue to do business with as well.
Every citizen of working age (18 - 60) would be required to have full-time work.
Each USA citizen would received $10 million/ yearly (placed into their QFS account).
There would be no need for social security.
If just born, would not have access until 18 (for educational purposes); over 18 (money released according to needs - education, buying real estate, car, travel); over 30 (access to $250K per year after primary home bought).
THIS PARADIGM SHIFT - will end poverty - end welfare - end fighting.
ALL THE MONEY IS ALREADY HERE.
WE CAN CREATE A MAGICAL WORLD.
All we have to do is change the way we think and BELIEVE that it will happen.
PS:
...we are that powerful.
BELIEVE....would you?
because I do and I want a better world than we have now.
I'm an elected official and by state law, elected officials and employees of the state cannot accept gifts (in their role) over $50. Had a developer in our area who tried to give Christmas gifts to officials and staff (a $10-$20) bottles of wine. I refused because I didn't want the appearance even if it was under $50.
You will never change this way of the world. The corporate graft and collusion added to the political class is why they have to print so much money. Not saying it is right but you can, and will, do nothing about it.
Yes, as long as the gift is for "we the people" and not personal; since those holding public office do so to represent us and therefore, any gift does not belong to the person holding that office. With the new QFS - everything will be transparent. ALL TRANSACTIONS will be viewable :) and there will no longer be ledgers to hide money for nefarious purposes! GIFT AWAY FOR THE GOOD OF ALL.
You know that when you have an audience with the God father, the head of the family, you always bring something valuable to show your gratitude.
It is how the criminal cartels conducts their business. One is transparent and open about what they do, we call it the mob, the other fully cloaked in bull shit lies and evil is called government.
Who are these trolls. How can this be right. Everyone sign a document saying nothing more than 20.00!!! Corporate compliance . Obviously health care workers and law enforcement are held to a higher standard
.... don't forget college tuitions (gifts) for the Honorable(sic) Clarence Thomas' kids... domestic rackateers are no better than gate crashers who pay bribes to "relief" agencies... soul sellers every one of them.

Absolutely not!
There should also be very heavy restrictions on their investments

Inside trading is enough

No politician should accept gifts or cash from corporations . The contributions should go to the political party with a limit on the amount donated
I'm an elected official and by state law, elected officials and employees of the state cannot accept gifts (in their role) over $50. Had a developer in our area who tried to give Christmas gifts to officials and staff (a $10-$20) bottles of wine. I refused because I didn't want the appearance even if it was under $50.
Can you increase the question text/font size?

... do you offer fries with that plate of manure?
hahaha Had the same thought. Delusions are a wonderful thing to some.
No
No, of course not.
Greg, of course they should accept the gifts.
You know that when you have an audience with the God father, the head of the family, you always bring something valuable to show your gratitude.

Give me the mob anytime.

And they are everywhere.
