The people could have a more direct approach to the expected performances of the ones elected.
A yearly or bi-yearly vote on our elected local and government officials could be a deterrent for non-performers career politicians not interested in serving the people.
Are you calling for having people vote on individual salaries? How do you vote on a continuous dimension?
I think unless you changed the time we vote it would have to be thrown into the local voting dates.
Most of us get a continuous increase be performance at work –work hard and be rewarded by the people you serve.
I'm confused by your response.
The "continuous, performance increase" kind of makes sense.
Voting, however, is a yes or no decision. You can't vote 100,000 while another votes 30,000.
Also, will representatives now have different pay based on their constituents?
As we all get a raise by percentages, I would say thats how you vote on a yes or no question to an increase. I think base salary is another topic.
So the vote is whether he gets his raise or not? And this is a different vote for each senator, representative, president...?
Can we vote a smaller salary? Can we vote more than the standard raise?
One of the interesting solutions in business is to let people set their own salary. They would advertise that salary as part of their campaign. The salary would be paid by the state or nationally for the president.
It would be for individuals
Normally one is not downgraded pay, only given a percent increase based on performance of work.
Interesting! Almost bidding for a salary to do the work?
Yeah. The example I saw was for financial consultants. It worked really well because they competed heavily with each other for clients.
This would also make it easier for new candidates to run.
Absolutely!
