As of January 2019 President $400,000 Vice President $243,500* Speaker of the House $223,500 House Majority & Minority Leaders $193,400 House/Senate Members & Delegates $174,000 Chief Justice, Supreme Court $267,000* Associate Justices, Supreme Court $255,300* * A December 2018 Executive Order set these rates of pay for 2019, but a proposal to implement a further pay freeze on senior-level Executive Branch employees may overide the increase set for the Vice President, and pending FY 2019 appropriations may allow for a requested increase in salaries for Supreme Court Justices. .....with a little history going back to 1789.....(starting at $6 per day)...nice spike from 1990-1991 for house members $96,000 to $125,000. pressgallery.house.gov/member-data/salaries

So you need to raise $2 million every two years to campaign and win a House job worth $174K? What could possibly go wrong with a system like that? Seems like you'd have lots of time to respond to your constituents and you'd never owe favors to outside influences with deep pockets.
