I think we should pay them more. I just think getting better candidates would be much more influential than the reduction in corruption. Most corruption isn't someone dropping off a bag of money. It's an organization donating a bunch of money so they can put somebody intelligent charming and attractive in front of the senator who is going to have a really good argument why certain provisions are good for their constituents.
