Officials should display sponsors like race car drivers...

Here's a great idea that someone else thought of... All of these "officials" should be required to display their money sponsors graphically on their person -- in the same manner that race car drivers do. We could see at a glance the degree to which a public leader was compromised by tangled alliances. This would instantaneously elevate the status of the true servants of the people -- those who eschew such supicious looking alliances. Everyone else would clearly lose public credibility in proportion to their greed. Comments...?
