    As if politicians wages were the issue.

    The issue with us politics are their secondary revenue streams.

    A politician, in general, should be paid well enough such that they arent vulnerable to corruption.

      When Trump was first running, they said he wouldn’t steal anything because he was so rich he didn’t need to. Some people will NEVER have enough money, and will even go to the trouble of becoming president to get more.

      NaN error when attempting to calculate amount beyond corruption. You give them enough for it to be unreasonable that they go for more, then prosecute the hell out of violations.
