Politicians come to DC without much money and in a few years have millions. That doesn't happen with Congressional paychecks. People like Pelosi see the world from the inside. Inside the gated mansion, inside the political machine, inside the business deals, inside the club. They don't see it from the ground level. They are used to staffers and hangers on doing their bidding, getting their hands dirty. Their wealth seldom comes from honest labor. It comes from gaming the system, rigging the elections, having their pacs grab the lobby donations.
Put Maxine Waters on the street without a fat bank account and political connections, she'd starve to death. She has no marketable skills. Same with Pelosi. Some were lawyers in their former lives but a dishonest politician makes far more than an honest lawyer. If the money was removed from DC the place would be a ghost town. But that's how government should be. No external money, no lobbyist paying for dinner, tickets, travel. It should be a temporary job that lasts 2,4,6 or 8 years max. They should leave with approx. the same net worth as they started with except a few more dollars in the savings or 401k plan. That's it.
You want to clean up politics, take out the money for the politician, their families, friends and associates. It should be a 9-5 job with the same perks you'd expect working for any normal company. When you leave, that's it. You take your 401k but no retirement packages.
My personal belief is the only ones who should be elected are those that have run successful operations. They should understand how to deal with people, how to make order out of chaos. They should be able to streamline operations, eliminate waste and have a good understanding of American's history, values, culture, laws and use their demonstrated talents to make America a safe, prosperous place again. Trump is the first President in modern history to fit these qualifications. He's not a smooth talking politician thank God. He is volunteering his time and pay to the country. He's not on the take like the rest.

Exactly as the founding fathers intended it to be. I think they're all spinning in their graves so hard, it might change earth's orbit.
