re: #791 Kosh’s Shadow

Well, I think voters should get to vote on the pay and benefits of all politicians.
There should be an election within three months that gives ranges of salaries; the range that gets the most votes is what they get. If they already got paid more than that, they don’t get any more money.
To take it further, maybe every year voters should approve pay for their politicians. Maybe they can’t recall someone, but they can stop paying him.
I predict this would get politicians to listen to voters.

The Founding Fathers thought the idea of high pay for public SERVANTS was NOT good. It was better that they practice a skill (aka had a job) that would keep them in munchies and other necessaries.
