How the fuck is a higher minimum wage anything but our current system?

I’m not convinced it’s not satire

    They need to base politicians salaries off minimum wage. If they only earned a salary based off 4-5x the minimum wage, that shit would never be lagging as bad as it is now

    this only works if they stop them from being able to hold investments in companies, and markets, they pass laws for, as well as getting rid of political donations. If we don't do that their salary going down would only negatively affect the small number of congress members that want actual change to things.

    Why 4x minimum wage? How could they represent the poorest people in a country if they make quadruple the money?
    If they cant live with minimum wage, its their problem to solve

    It's [supposed to be] a demanding position. Relative to the skills we should be demanding these people to have, the pay they currently get is actually not that impressive.

    4 times as demanding sounds kinda funny. 254000× or whatever sounds like religious fairy tales. To the guillotines.
