None of that explains or excuses why somebody in politics should get the same as somebody in the private sector.Except everyone does it these days. All banks make record profits each year, teloc's make big bucks, petrol and power companies are the same too. It's a loose loose situation for the average consumer.
There is a good reason why the 1%ers own over 90% of all the wealth in the world and the rest of us go backward in real terms each year.
There is plenty of bitching on this forum about the cost of energy in Aussie because the companies will sell gas overseas before locally because they can make more money that way.
Russia/Putin just enforced local energy companies to sell domestically because it was more profitable to sell overseas than to local Russian citizens. Funny how a murderous dictator can see it but we in free market capitalist economies can't. It's time govco's start taxing excess profits.
It's just "whataboutism" at its finest.
