Politicians should not be given by a good salary if they are not doing their jobs well but this is also the reason on why they can kill only to get on their positions.
politicians shouldn't really be rich especially if the citizens are suffering but because of corruption they are ending up spending the people's money for their personal uses
About minimum wage, I think the employer are still free to increase it if they really wanted to but the problem is that many of them are also stingy. They are close to those kind of governments we are talking about earlier.
that is because they also are not earning much because of taxes and such the government affects everyone both the employers and the employees
