Nope, won't work. All you're doing is 'deferred compensation'. Take for example Dick Cheney's Halliburton assets are in a 'blind trust'. He's making policy decisions to make himself rich while he's in office, he just can't cash in until January 21st, '05, when the new president and vice president are sworn in. Boo-hoo.

3) Officials who accept money or the promise of employment while holding office go to jail.

Bwahahaha! Like that will ever happen. That's the very core of the system.

Someone needs to challenge the Supreme Court ruling that money == free speech. They've reversed before.
