The problem these "add a meta policy" proposals all have in common is that they assume we have any control over the legislature... which we don't have; they don't work for us at all. At this point only organizing and other direct action will have any significant impact on actual policy.

In this particular case, legislators would continue to receive bribe income that they refuse to acknowledge as bribery.
