So, a politician? A fatass, dumbass politician?
politicians "profit" comes more from "political donations" rather than their actual salary.
The salaries aren’t that big
If you include all the legal (and illegal) bribes that almost all of them receive, they are well paid, though.
You’re probably not wrong, but it’s tough to calculate.
