How about we cut the salaries of all elected officials in DC to zero? They don’t work for us so why should they get paid out of our tax dollars? They get paid plenty by whoring themselves to the highest bidder.
Because this only harms the ones who aren’t corrupt and doesn’t do anything for the ones who are corrupt.
What they should be doing is getting rid of lobbying and disallowing corporate and business interests in politics, but we fucked that up decades ago, so I’ll settle for forcing politicians to wear tracksuits that have patches from every single person and company that had paid them.
