    Step 1: politicians must pay for their own legal troubles

    Step 2: “The Association of Totally Real Concerned Citizens” starts filing lawsuits across the country

    Step 3: any non-billionaire elected to a political office is bankrupted within a year

    Step 4: surprised yellow rodent face

    (Bonus step 5: JB Pritzker becomes president and solves world hunger with deep dish pizza)

    Edit: line breaks
