This whole thing is a joke. I'm not saying it's ok that they did that, but honestly it's fucking retarded that people just focus on something when it's brought to their attention then stop when some token gesture is made.
I could care less if we paid politicians a million a year if they would actually lead the country. Leaders are meant to lead, what we have (which I personally don't judge the politicians for, but I don't believe judging has any positive effect anyway) are leaders who indulge the every whim of their followers.
We are being lead by the mass opinion of the average person. Which I suppose is the intention, but we need to focus on improving that, inept/corrupt politicians are only a symptom of that. Incurable as long as mass opinion works how it currently does.
