How about we tax their use of communications platforms and media outlets by 1000% instead?

Where politicians or government officials are volunteers or underpaid, bribery becomes an ordinary required part of every transaction, including LE. And everything slows down because bribes have to be negotiated. And the poor hard working shop keeper may be unable to expand or renovate because the bribes may be too high. It can be much harder to get from rags to riches than in a land were officials are paid adequately. Basically, corruption is universal.Don't forget to add "politicians" are volunteer positions and will not be compensated, they are to foot the bill for their own medical, and retirement as well.
It's just pandering. Zero chance in the house and even if it became law SCOTUS would strike it down.Old thread, but the same thing appears to have just been re-introduced in the last day or so.
1000% tax, plus some other Marxist fun.

The phrase "underpaid" is a whole bunch of BS. It's called greed. It doesn't matter how much people make if they will never be content with whatever that number is. Hence why you have politicians making multiple times the average wage of their constituents and they still want more.Where politicians or government officials are volunteers or underpaid, bribery becomes an ordinary required part of every transaction, including LE.

I don't buy this at all. It is the same logic that was used when ISIS was forming and some rushed to expain that those boys needed better life opportunities - presumably provided by some external actor - to escape the temptation of radicalism and violence.The point I'm trying to make is if the officials are unpaid or paid too little to survive on, all of them will be massively corrupt.
I don't buy it either. Just look at how many Senate, Representatives or many other political office holders were millionaires before even running for office.I don't buy this at all.
