Come on, if Target can predict when a teenager is going to get pregnant, then we can easily keep track of politician's financial lives in however much detail we want. If you want to make a law that says no politician can exceed the median American salary per year, for their entire lives; we can do that. It's just that it won't happen as long as money=power=speech.

And the trackers answer to who, ultimately? Either the politicians themselves, in which case the whole thing is hopelessly corrupt and useless, or some other unelected group, who then become de facto dictators of the country.
