We should pay the President a larger salary. It’s the most important position on earth (debatably) it should be reflected in the pay. Ofc insider trading should be illegal for the president to take part in.

Perhaps if they were paid at a level commensurate with the demands of the job there would be less incentive for crypto grifting and other insider activities. I promise everyone even if presidents are paid $1 million a year it’s not gonna break the federal budget.

If people are motivated by greed wouldn’t you want an important job to pay more?

I didn’t say people are motivated by greed, I think if we want proper representation further separating the president from the plight of your average citizen is a terrible idea

You know what happens when you don’t pay government reps well? Only rich people become government reps. Look up how much Nebraska pays their senators and all of them are pretty well off or old retire people which were also not supposed to like.

Right because not rich people have such an easy time getting into politics already

The question is what makes it easier, obviously for separate reasons well off and well connected people have advantages in elections.

I didn’t mention it I said it should be illegal like you should arrest the president if they make trades that conflict with their office.

You’re acting like we’re disagreeing but then you just repeated what I said and called me blue maga lol. Just kinda dishonest unless if you didn’t read the entire post.

No you’re being dishonest by acting like I’m against other change bc I didn’t mention it in this specific post. Also if I only support change supported by democrats what big democrats are calling for the president to be paid more?

I think the only thing you’ve mentioned that I would be against is a multi party proportional system. If that’s what you mean.

You keep implying I’m implying something by just talking about the presidency in the post. I literally mentioned state senators in the reply just above yours I obviously think this concept applies to more than just the president. I just think the constant trying to assume what my “evil” intentions are is annoying. Meanwhile you’re just listing off things I agree with while you call me blue maga.

Thank you I jump the gun a lot too it’s ok. I just prefer people respond to what I say instead of labeling me x thing then assuming what I’m for. I’m also pretty explicit with what labels I do identify with and I’m fine with people judging those.
