There was someone on here last week actually arguing that we should pay politicians a lot more money, so they wouldn't need to be corrupted. Then there's people who want to pay criminals not to commit crimes. These people are retarded and insane!
There is some logic behind it if it came with substantial strings. If there was a law that paid the POTUS or VPOTUS something like $10 million and simultaneously prevented them and their families from substantial outside business interests (including after they left office) it would probably do a lot to clean up the swamp. It’s disgusting to think about having to set up such a system, but I think politics would be a lot cleaner if we got rid of politburos and their family members getting lucrative “asset management” or “consulting agreements” or “book deals” while in office or right after they leave. The problem now is it is far more lucrative selling out the public than it is to be an honest public servant.

Biden would take that $10 million and still pocket the $40 million from the CCP. If you're corrupt, you're corrupt.
