    I don’t want law makers so poor that they need bribes from lobbyists etc. Upper middle class income from their job duties allows politicians to focus solely on their job of representation without them worrying about paying the mortgage and the bills. I’d absolutely want the role of politican to lift people out of poverty too with a good income while they represent their community.

      The poor ones would take bribes from lobbyists if that’s all they get as politicians.
