Politicians should be paid far more, not sure why everyone is getting bent out of shape over a paycheck that's less then a quarter million per year, higher pay means means more expensive bribes. You people never seem to care when it's higher ups in the private sector being overpaid.
Do you really think the likes of AOC deserve a quarter of a million dollars a year? They do nothing but have meetings with lobbyists and sit in a chamber to vote on things. It takes zero training, and minimal knowledge, to do what they do. They shouldn't be paid more than $100,000 per year.
I'm fine cutting down their pay once the pay of the private sector is accordingly lowered and buissinesses are made less profitable. Wouldn't you be corrupt if you had hundreds of millions of dollars being offered to you while your actual salary is lower than what the average woman demands before she'll allow you to reproduce with her?
As someone else said you have to cut out lobbying and bribes. Congress only should work so many days out of the year. They need a job back home in the area they represent. There should be a basic hotel type place that they stay in DC while in office working and not have houses there that they live in full time away from the citizens they are working for. They should have no benefits that the average worker can’t have. They should be held to the same standards and laws as every citizen is.

Too easy to weaponize and it wouldn't actually stop the flow of money.
