We need a law that says both elected and appointed members of government may not accept gifts of any kind, no plane flights, no accommodations, no money, no favors, no dinners, nothing,
Also full financial discloser and a strict code of ethics.

@Stonekettle How can there not already be such a law!?!?
When I worked for a defense contractor I remember REALLY strict rules limiting gifts, who payed for meals and how much, etc. At the lowest levels of grunts (me and the government people I worked with) they enforce ridiculously restrictive rules.
I am baffled why the same rules aren't applied at all levels.
