A lot of people here are suggesting that politicians should not be able to own any stock. I am sure that we can agree that the talent follows the money. I also assume we can agree that we need the best and the brightest in our government (as opposed to working at FAANG). My suggestion would be to pay good people a million bucks per year and multiples of that on top of it if they meet their campaign promises. I personally wouldn't mind if our politicians made 10x of what they make today, since that way we would hopefully attract more candidates and end up with better talent. Let's just make sure that the money they make is not driven by corporate interests.
