If you don’t work you don’t eat.
If you don’t produce, you don’t vote.
Government on starvation rations.
You need to hold a bake sale to pay your Congesscritter.
Maximum salary of any elected official is $100 per year, and zero office, staff, or travel expense accounts.

While I’m not one for huge paychecks for elected officials, that low of a salary would invite even more graft than currently occurs.
The problem isn’t salary – it’s perks, power, and graft. If you eliminate the possibility of politicians (and their staffs) being exempt from the laws they pass and immunity from prosecution/lawsuit for violating our rights, and you reduce the size and scope of gov’t to its Constitutional limits, you have taken away most of their perks, power and opportunity for graft.
And, based on your first three suggestions, I would call it the “Pauline Party”. No, not the Congrescritter, the apostle.

Only if you want to eliminate anyone from running for office unless they are already rich. If you want normal people to run for office, you need to make them able to break even on expenses.
And they do need a staff, and do need to travel between their districts and DC.
Wow, must be some powerful telepathy going down amongst deplorables. “New party” surfaced again in my brain yesterday, reading all the spineless GOP treachery. Wonder how often PDT has actually considered it, as the seditious coup rumbles on…?
You know what? All of this stuff they keep finding absolutely vindicates POTUS. And if it weren’t for alt right media, we wouldn’t know 10% of it. Did you know that?
How about this? As the nattering nabobs of negativism natter on about Russia and other fake news, the Trump admin goes about the serious business of saving the world…reported by the WaPo! Reading this story I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop with the obligatory attack on everything Trump, but it never did.
YUGE gains and successes at killing the root of virtually all evil and the biggest threat to America and the entire world, and even negotiated participation from them. How did this slip through the editors at one of the most leftist rags out there?

This.
When in doubt, read the user’s manual. Ours has been the gold standard for a representative republic since 1787. It’s a crime that so few of our current crop of politicians have ever bothered to give it so much as a glance.

Constitution Party sounds right to me. Rule of Law has been absent from this land for a longer time than the left has finally made it obvious.

We already have three parties. It’s just that very few people are owning up to it. We have the globalist, progressive, socialist party, (the GPSP) made up of democrats and republicans, and total f*cking lunitics. Then we have the republican party, made up of financial conservatives, believers in the founding principles of the USA, and clandestine members of the GPSP. Then we have the democrat party, made up of simple minded idealistic morons that truly believe that at its core, government is the end all to all problems, plus fully out of the closet members of the GPSP. Our problem is, The GPSP now outnumbers the rest of us, and if we don’t do something about our immigration problem that imports more GPSP members, and our public schools, colleges, and universities that are mind washing our offspring into the GPSP mindset, we are going to be doomed by the next election cycle. Every year, public high schools are producting new 18 year old GPSP voters, and our immigration policies are importing millions more!. Make America great again? We got to fix it first! We aren’t bleeding out! We are bleeding in the GPSP corruption!

The American Constitution was written with great consideration, thought & argument and it’s wisdom has stood the test of time. It was not a reflection of virtue signalling, political polling or identity politics. What a shame that none of the parties… Dems, Repubs, Libertarians nor Greenies… give more than passing consideration to the Constitution.
Too bad countries don’t have a “reboot” button to re-establish the OS. I don’t know if DJT can drain the swamp. Would a new party help or simply cause more confusion?

I beg to differ on your inclusion of Libertarians with respect to “passing consideration to the Constitution”.
The Constitution was meant to limit the power of the central government, but by the will of certain Supreme Court rulings the reserved rights of states and individuals were ignored and limitations were circumvented in defiance of the Ninth and Tenth Amendments. These need to be addressed and reversed.
As for the need of a third party I would say no.
We just need to wake up and vote Libertarian.
Of course those who suckle on the Power of the State, both on the Right and the Left, would disagree.

Unfortunately, things ate too frakked up for a simple ++ to be of any help. We’re long past that stage. The only thing now is to wipe the main hard drive and reload the operating system from scratch. Then reinstall all the apps. It’s a total and utter pain in the ass but it must be done. We need to wipe the SCOTUS record back to a pre Marbury v Madison state and throw out the existing U.S. Code.

Best tactic, takeover of existing Republican party. RINO trophy hunts as necessary.

With all due respect, we have neither time nor leverage to do so before things get kinetic. When an electoral victory that leaves one party in total control of the government, and the other party’s policies remain unchanged and defended by the party that promised to change them, it is apparent that voting and elections are moot. We cannot vote the GOPe 0ut from within the GOP. The game is rigged. So the choice is leave the GOP and weaken the GOPe by removing our support, or assume that kinetic means are all that are left.
