I just don't think this is mometarily driven corruption. It's corruption of the purest form, and these people crave power, influence, and acceptance amongst the so-called elite. I'm sure money is a part of it, but I don't see how paying depraved people more makes the corruption go away. The main way to make it happen is for real consequences to be in place, but that's not going to happen.

Okay, assuming that’s true, I’m suggesting that if we paid these positions better, maybe more “normal” people would want to do these jobs. So maybe you don’t significantly change the incentives for existing corrupt people, but you change the incentives for non-corrupt people to join government ranks.
