Politicians tend to be greedy and look only to better thier position. They enrich themselves off of the wealth of the people and the government. The solution? Life-long vows of poverty all around upon achieving office!
They must give up their riches (if any) and must live simple lifes, living in simple homes, eating simple meals, and wearing simple clothing. This should scare away any people who would seek to live as parasitic beings on their representitive land.

On the surface this is another brilliant, perfect liberal plan with only the best intentions
Right. So, if I swear an oath of perpetual personal poverty, but instead live off my rich spouse, who recieves all the proceeds of my corruption... Where is the difference?
What punishment will there be for someone who after they leave office... say they writes a successful book and failed to donate all the proceeds to unbiased charities? How would you enforce the oath, when they are already breaking laws left and right?
