In an effort to disallow political corruption we find it in the best interest of the people to disallow the over paying of politicians. In the forming of this country politicians was not meant to be a full time job like it has become today.
We find this the result of corrupt politicians working for rich corporations to make more money and pass laws and exempt corporations from laws that should directly effect them. Most notably the harvesting of natural gasses using a phreaking method that is slowly kill our wildlife and will have adverse effects on man kind and the way of life as we know it today. Their has already been plenty of documented deaths from this issue. the government knows this. however continue to line their pockets with hold laws to fix the issue. the list goes on.
