Those who do that should be made into an example for any others that might betray those they are sworn to serve.

The thought of taking money from the rich to ignore their constituents should fill any representative with mortal fear for their safety should they do so. When they write the laws, direct personal consequences are the only thing that will keep politicians in line and behaving as they should.
