Just a few examples. MPs in England are paid £65,738 a year (including allowances to cover the costs of running an office, employing staff, having somewhere to live in London and in their constituency, and travelling between Parliament and their constituency), Congress are paid around $174,000 a year and the president earning $400,000 a year. Now given these figures, would you say politicians are paid too much (especially given the rather low approval rate of congress at the moment) too little or just the right amount?
