How would you design a governance system that allows people to pay for the policies they want (direct bribery) but doesn't become a plutocracy (where only the rich have a voice)?

The only problem is externality pricing.

easy: politicians must not earn more than median salary in the country

as soon as they earn more (or their household income is more) — they get kicked out

if they are found to cheat the system, the assets get seized in favor of the government

this solves the bribery, their living standard and gives incentives to raise the overall quality of life

You can limit earnings, but you can’t limit “access” to goods, therefore it wouldn’t solve bribery. (Eg they will not own a yacht but get access to it)

exactly, you can't — because you're *paid* by the people to govern, this restriction comes with the job when you take it, just like disclosing all your financials

Interesting, indeed! Isn’t it still hard to judge what is ethical? So as a politician, I can’t party on my rich friends’ yacht?

interestingly enough, control over access is already implemented at least in Canada

so the "can't" is actually "can" and "wouldn't" is actually "would"

we simply need to punish such things or ban the politicians that do this
