Seconded. It infuriates me when people get enraged about lobbyists, but also whine about representatives being payed too much. The only thing that seems to make those folks happy is if the person is independently wealthy (see Trump).
Considering the tendency for politicians to be drawn to money and become millionaires while in office through various means, I'm not at all convinced that large salaries would cause them to turn away people handing them more money.
You'd get different people drawn to politics if it looked like a move up the career ladder. With the salaries beinf pathetically low, only those who have low enough morals to make it work via corruption are the only ones who will participate in it long term. Singapore has one of the least corrupt governments on earth according to Transparency International.
