To me it's not that 6-figure base salary that's the problem (career politicians have larger income sources), it's their ability to spend their riches and privileged lifestyle.
Normal people have difficulty getting their hair cut during lockdown. A senate's trophy wife have no difficulty getting both her personal hair stylist and beautician to her house, maybe even add seeing an $800 dermatologist that visits her house for even fairer skin.
It does matter when the economy crashes and their consultant position they pursue after does not pay 7 figures, or the bids for corruption money lower, as fewer people have money and less money exists to go around. Not to mention increased competition all around for jobs, locally and globally.
Not like it matters anyway. They didn't get tens or hundreds of millions on a six figure salary.
They're all GENIUS investors who never made a bad investment that didn't return 500% profit. /s
500%, those are rookie numbers. Hillary Clinton turned $1,000 into almost $100,000... in just ten months........ trading cattle futures.
