America's GDP allocated per congressperson is like $50 billion each.
Salaries wont fix bribes for someone with that much to command and even the already rich can make a lot of money getting into politics. Their salary means nothing to them.

You live in shitty 2bdrm apartment with wife and two kids in poor school district? With no savings and vacation? Your life is hell and you are that much more likely to take bribes.
It’s all about incentives.
But GDP is a bit misleading. A lot of it is financial services lately. It’s not real goods or services.
