Well paid politicians do everything to get reelected rather than doing everything to increase general welfare.
Also as others have commented, even well paid people do shady things. TFA isn't an endorsement of higher wages, it's a denouncement of our terrible collective security and authentication protocols.

Parent comment is literally completely backwards - we've seen from Wall Street that paying people extremely well leads to corruption. High pay has the opposite effect. Things that work include oversight, transparency, audit logs, removal of human processes, active anti-corruption investigation, and the like.

Social economics has already identified that people only care about relativistic wealth so a business industry surrounded by greed will of course, produce more greed. Slap some actual consequences and you'll see better results.
