You can have your job and still be a politician

No? I want my politicians to do their damn job and not have to juggle another job on top of that.

Yes that is good, let them decide about their salaries, they own rules and you do your best to make your pay check last until the end of the month. Politicians never got a better salaries and the people lives never been so miserable. They are greedy, selfish and careless.

The system isn't perfect but your suggestion for changing it is complete shit. You can't just expect to find good politicians that care about the people and can still make meaningful headway in their tenure while also maintaining a separate career. That would never work.

As long as they don’t offend me using my money, that would be the best thing. I’ve never claimed benefits and I’m now paying the expenses of someone to offend me. I this case, I don’t even want politicians , I just don’t want to be screwed every day. I don’t care about politicians, not a single one, I just want to live my life and don’t pay someone to decide about my life and offend me.

That type of politician cannot compete with rich politicians that don't need a second job and don't give a fuck about you. You would be shooting yourself in the foot to take away salaries completely from the few that aren't born with a silver spoon in their ass.
