    Unlike today where they get paid so much they don’t accept bribes from lobbyists and corporations, leading to career politicians.

      I never said that if you pay them enough then they won’t take bribes. You could pay them a billion dollars a year and there’ll still be some corrupt bastards looking for bribes.

      What I was saying was that if you don’t pay them anything, then it will be impossible for regular, working class people to ever become politicians.
