- Retire at 70 - Yes
- Get paid $60k - No
You don’t want people in power being easy to bribe. It’s bad enough as it is.

They already are. They never stop being greedy. Just look at Trump - he’s in the top seat, and it’s still not even close to satisfying his unquenchable thirst.

Agreed, but you don’t stop it by paying them less.

Yeah, about that enforcement part… Never gonna happen without some major yourselfl upheaval.

It applies to staffers too. A lot of staffers are already making only $60k. In DC, you need 3-4 roommates to afford rent on that salary. Also, these are people with law degrees.
Guess what happens when they get a job offer from a lobbying firm offering $400k? Suddenly those principles are negotiable.
