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.

Not for anyone in the country since there’s a federal minimum. Don’t be stupid you lose all validity. And absolutely the barista at Starbucks doesn’t deserve the same pay as someone running the whole country. You have to be very stupid to not understand that everyone’s value of work output is not equal. Nobody with the skills to make more is making $5/hr. Not everybody has the skills. No matter how you want to pretend, humans are not all equal in their abilities. Try a fight with The Rock. Go head to head with Ken Jennings in Jeapordy. Go carve a marble statue. If you can do it the same way, cool. Chances are you can’t. And so you won’t be compensated the same way as someone who can. If you can’t find where you shine, you’ll never make much as your skills are mediocre at best.
Everyone deserves a living wage. Except the pieces of shit who make sure that doesn’t happen. Lauren Boebert and Matt Gaetz may be your betters, deserving of greater wages for the work they don’t do. If you think you’re worth less than that ambulatory garbage, I absolutely agree.
