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.

    When someone cannot afford the necessary means to do their job in any other context, we don’t raise their pay.

      Think about what you’re saying though. It boils down to “only the rich should be in government.”

      Is that really what we want?

        It’s what we already have.

            I’m suggesting that raising Lauren Boebert’s salary isn’t going to solve it.

              If that’s all you’re taking away from this, I can only assume you’re not understanding the situation being talked about.

                I understand the situation. You think Lauren Boebert isn’t rich enough and deserves more money for the work she does for you.
