Usually, politicians are independently wealthy, or at least financially stable, because you don't make the big bucks being a state senator or a city assemblyman. I would hope that politicians wish to be the leaders and decision makers to be leaders and make the world better, not to have a highly paying job with health benefits.

Unless you are into politics for the corruption money. But then we have bigger problems.

Anyway, if a politician is that good and makes it really high up on the ladder, s/he'll probably make some good money writing books and giving speeches. That's how it works, right?

Considering how useless most politicians are they definitely don't need more cash. Politicians are the lowest of the low even Hitler failed at art before turning to politics.

Public servants should make minimum wage.

Elected service is a privilege and honor as a citizen.

Put them on the same level with most of us, instead of on a pedestal, and we might see some true change in government.

Politicians in Congress make plenty of money. And they get kickbacks, too.
