Taking The Fifth

I want a nice, simple, change.

If you are an appointed or elected government official and you plead the fifth, you're also resigning and forfeiting all of the post-employment benefits of your post.

Further, you are barred from being a lobbyist or being employed by anyone who employs a lobbyist.

Government should be held to a higher standard than the everyday noble citizen.

PS:

I just noticed.  In a nation where every citizen has a sovereign franchise, none of them are common by the old sense of the word.  The everyday citizen of America IS the nobility of the nation.  The government behaving the way it is is actually a peasants revolt against its leaders.

It might be time to put this revolt down.
