Separation of Powers
by Separation of Voters
and Separation of Taxes
This flow diagram is intended to give the reader a clearer overview of the relationships between the different branches of govt. Our founding Fathers wanted separation of powers, but in hindsight the separation doesn't work when all branches get paid from the same pot. Quite possible complete separation of powers by voters and tax base was not deemed practical in the small economy of 1787. Today it can easily be accomplished.
The government should work like the rock-paper-scissors game; any part can control some and be controlled by others. Think of it as the 3 legs of a tripod.
- The bureaucracy is controlled by the executive, but gets its funding from the legislative (House) and its individuals can be fired by the Judicial Oversight Juries.
- The Taxpayers have a strangle hold on government finances, but the Electorate sets qualifications for their voters and the Grand Juries can fire their elected representatives.
- The Executive & Senate are elected only by the Electorate, but the Taxpayers can choke the money and the Grand Jury can fire any executive or Senator (except the US President).
- The Jury System is subject to qualifications set by the Electors, but otherwise is completely independant. Its check & balance comes from very frequent turnover of all its agents.
Party politics should not work in any of the branches (we hope!).
-
The Electorate can set qualifications to discourage party politics, and would tend not to have party hacks themselves because
- they control no money or political favors, and
- they are term limited (by the time someone learns how to manipulate it they are retired).
- Party hacks voted in by the Taxpayers can be summarily fired by the Grand Juries.
- The Judicial System would probably be the most immune to party hacks because even a janitor would be term limited to 1 year, and the Judges and Juries a lot less.
To have a Party system, 2 things are required;
- longevity in paid office,
- the ability to dispense money and favors to party loyalists.
This should be very difficult as long as term limits are strictly adhered to for ALL paid government workers and elected politicians. Any attempt to become corrupt quickly should bring a swift response from an Oversight Grand jury. If one cannot receive a pension and cannot stay in office/civil service, then one works for a better life after leaving government service.
