@rbreich If I had my way, all elected federal officials would work for the minimum wage they themselves set, and earn not one penny more during their terms. They'd be banned from employment from any corporation lobbying Congress for 5 years after leaving office. Divestment into a common fund. Profits to the general fund. Losses from their divestment.
We must love corruption in government. We've left the door open, all of our money on the kitchen table & let people our plunderers bribe judge us.
