Yes, term limits seem to me to be a good way of limiting the corruption.... however the issue of salaries is almost the opposite; too low pay means they are amenable to 'other payments' because in the elite in which they mix, they feel themselves to be poor - rather higher salaries bit no second jobs or other income would be a better option - pay them well, but don't allow them (for their limited terms) any other income

@ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us @alex_p_roe@mastodon.world Aha! A sweet convergence across the ideological spectrum for term limits! But shouldn't we strive for politicians who are not ruled by envy? What they feel like, when compared with the captains of industry, and old wealthy family, should certainly not, in my opinion be used to set their salaries. After all, in my business, if an employee would say they want a higher salary because they will envious of another, I'd laugh them out of the room.
