Since so many of our office holders are in it for the graft and corruption and kickbacks and sale of governmental favors ( just ask Hillary), We may as well just cancel all wages and benefits for the jobs. We will save a few bucks and there won’t be the slightest drop in the “quality” of politicians
Make ‘em work for tips.
They are paid inappropriately- they should be paying us considering all the perks.
Even if that could somehow be accomplished, the kickbacks and bribery, as well as outright theft that these scummy bastards get away with, would preclude any of them from leaving their seat.
In today's America, elective office is simply a license to steal.
