MODERATORS
Is they pay not being high enough really the barrier to entry for most people? I would imagine the barrier is upfront cost more than eventual salary. Paying the politicians more just encourages them to stay longer.
Give them free food, housing, and health care, and a stipend for recreational spending. They are serving the people, I'm cool to foot the bill for that much. Use the rest of our money to help less rich and powerful people run for office in the first place.
