Re: The Reputation Hilarity/Insanity thread
I can't wait to hear how you'd attract competent people to government jobs without giving them decent salaries. $400 000 per year is a lot to the average person on the streets, but someone capable of taking care of the duties, dealing with intra- and inter-party politics, and doing a competent job about it not to mention actually getting elected could probably get equally good pay for a less demanding job easily. Despite how stupid their opinions may seem, someone capable of getting elected as a president or a senator or an MP must be competent at the job. And the pay should reflect that, even if those people aren't doing it for money.
