    That would just incentivize our politicians to accept bribes

    It’s far easier for them to get away with corruption than it would be to bring up the average household income of the whole country

    It wouldn’t even have to be outright corruption, they can just pass very favorable laws for certain wealthy corporations, where they will coincidentally be offered a highly paid “consulting” role after leaving office

      Not if the penalty for accepting bribes and favors is having dollar bills stuffed in their trachea.
