He’s not alone: AOC and others have argued lawmakers should be paid more in order to protect against corruption and make the job more accessible.

    That’s the same logic as prople saying we should keep the churches tax free, so they don’t interfere in politics, even thoigh they’re tax free now and already interfering with politics.

      Not even close. Very poor strawman attempt. Tax the churches. They want to be non profits, take 100% of the profits.

        Not really a strawman attempt, I just likened it to a very similar situation.

        But if that’s what it takes to convince yourself that you’re right, sure.
