6. A "Raise" ...you mean sucking up all that Lobbyist Money means they
just "can't get by?" It's so sad.

Yet, many of us might think if we gave them the standard/baseline going rate for CEO's/CFO's and Corporate Board Members in the MILLIONS they might answer to "We the People." But...that "money on the side" does sort of "supplement" for that "Corporate Stuff" doesn't it.

Who knows...Their salaries compared to CEO's are lacking... Would it make a difference if we gave them more? Would they be more responsible to "WE THE PEOPLE?" Some say Yes...and many say NO they would still take the "side money" from the Lobbyists so we would Pay more in the end. Some say "Lobby Reform" is the total answer. I do think their pay should be raised but in tandem with "Lobby Reform" so that we give them raises but it's based on how they perform. :shrug:
