Interviews and newly unearthed documents reveal that Thomas, facing financial strain, privately pushed for a higher salary and to allow Supreme Court justices to take speaking fees.
Further proves salary reform is needed at the Federal level: Increase wages enough that restrictions can be put in place to prevent such crap from happening in the future.
This isn’t a party specific issue, it’s an “OTUS” issue (of The United States) that is problematic across all branches of the US Government.
The time that he complained he wasn’t making enough money was after he took a $267,000 loan for a luxury RV so this comes across as him wanting a lavish lifestyle instead of actually struggling.
I’m sorry but is $300k not enough? And that is just their federal pay. All of them have book deals and get an extra couple hundred thousand a year from that. If they have issues living on that, they have some serious spending problems.
It’s good in theory, but knowing how greedy these people in power are, raising their salaries just means they can get even richer with bribes and under-the-table deals on top of it, so they’ll do it anyway.

Fuck that these guys all make way more than your average worker. Get the people paid first. These officials can go to jail where they belong.
