@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.

@ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us @alex_p_roe@mastodon.world But what about salaries coupled to the national average salary? Let's say they can get 2x the national average. If, due to competent economic policies, the economy and salaries expands, the politicians get increased salaries, if the economy contracts, they get lowered salaries. When the people suffer, they suffer, and when the people prosper, they prosper. Sounds very democratic to my ears.
