Paying them more wont change the types of people that are drawn to politics. Power corrupts regardless of the salary. The only way to fix corruption is to make it illegal and prosecute it ruthlessly.
- kelnos 4y agoThat sounds unrealistic. How do you make corruption illegal when the people who benefit from corruption are the ones who have the power to make it legal? At the very least, they get to decide which cases to pursue.
- tastyfreeze 4y agoThe only non-violent way the Constitution affords us. Article V Convention of States. For congress to overturn an amendment requires a 2/3 majority in both houses. That doesn't mean it can't happen. Just much more difficult than passing a bill.
