You mean how to keep politicians from stealing from their constituents? I have been asking statists for an answer to that question for a long time. Don't hold your breath. It's a flawed system and you just found the core issue that has no solution inside statism. If anyone disagrees with this statement, instead of down-voting please kindly point to an existing example of a State that has solved the problem of corrupt politicians.
Now that you found the core problem of statism, you owe yourself some reading. It's a fun journey. Good luck.

- contingencies 12y agoRadical transparency? Edit: Of course not: it's a 'publish everything' model, so people can real time audit government behaviors. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_transparency#Radical_Political_Transparency http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_transparency#Radical_Po... and http://www.davidbrin.com/radicaltransparency.html http://www.davidbrin.com/radicaltransparency.html for some description.
- woodman 12y agoNope, circular logic. Who enforces the transparency? The state? edit: re: edit: The point is that the call for transparency as a solution presupposes the whole "consent of the governed" idea, which is laughable. Consider accident of birth and majority tyranny.
