No, reducing their salaries from current rather middling levels would only make corruption more likely.

@QuixoticSoul Yep. Congresspeople make shit money compared to what they'd make in the private sector.

@Ynotisay I feel like most people complaining about their salaries live in the countryside and have no idea how much white-collar professionals typically earn in major cities.
