Forum Post: The next president should get minimum wage!

If we removed all financial motivations and perks from being President, I think we'd start to get true candidates show up that actually care about the country's well being rather than partially care about it.

I really feel that the financial aspect is a motivational factor leading to corruption and all.

And what if we had 5 presidents, all focusing on different aspects of the country? And these 5 candidates wouldn't have any financial reason to be president, so they're actually doing it because they care.

And screw this 4 year term bullshit... You can't do your job, you're fired. If you are caught with a bribe, jailed, fined and fired... In China you'd get executed.

The bankers run this country ... not the president. See JFK ...

Ergo, the banker challenge needs to be addressed firsts.

END THE FED!!!

The president shouldn't get any wage. In fact, there should probably be legislation prohibiting salaries for any elected official who earns over a certain amount.

Lets not just focus on one president, but all of the legislative branch who are currently not earning a cent of their par as far as im concerned....

535 ... representing 307 million.

Their pay comes from the bankers ... not the tax payers ...

Good idea, but they can still put a chip in his head.
