He’s not alone: AOC and others have argued lawmakers should be paid more in order to protect against corruption and make the job more accessible.

Comparing someone who makes 6 figures to someone who makes minimum wage is insulting to the latter.
Particularly since the former is responsible for keeping the latter’s wages stagnant while whining about how he’s not compensated enough for doing so.
You’re right. The point I was making was that congressional members are like people with minimum wage. Your response is definitely not dodging my argument.
The point you were making is that congressturds aren’t rich enough and that we should just spam money at them and that will magically make them less corrupt. Bringing up minimum wage workers who haven’t seen a raise in decades in that context is utterly disgusting.
That’s not the point I was making, and bringing that up isn’t disgusting.
