[QUOTE="Kevin Lang, post: 1007581, member: 65699"] ...somehow I have the feeling that the Founders intended public service to not be a paying career by itself as when these people don't have to work other jobs they don't know what the "real world" is like and cannot represent it. I don't think that they should get paid at all. It's not a job (and why do we have so many politicians today who have never had real jobs?). Of course, if they didn't get paid then I bet we'd see them abuse their power further to amass wealth, like H. Clinton or Harry Reid did (*do*). Then again, getting paid isn't stopping that abuse so... "You can't get rich in politics unless you're a crook" <- Harry S. Truman (the poorest US president) [/QUOTE]
