'Greed.
Deuteronomy 17
15 you shall surely set a king over you whom the Lord your God chooses; one from among your brethren you shall set as king over you; you may not set a foreigner over you, who is not your brother. 16 But he shall not multiply horses for himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt to multiply horses, for the Lord has said to you, ‘You shall not return that way again.’ 17 Neither shall he multiply wives for himself, lest his heart turn away; nor shall he greatly multiply silver and gold for himself.
Presidential pay should be minimum wage with a high expense account that is not used for vacations.

King = Government
President and Legislature = Government
The problem is how government functions, not the model. People don't struggle with it, they just reject it.

great post, nice to know what founding fathers had in mind for presidential salary
Interesting article, thanks. I had seen that Trump wanted to decline the salary and didn't think much of it.
Stop giving our tax dollars away to other countries would fix things up real quick. If you had a negative bank account, how much money would you be handing someone else?
I hope people realize that the article is all made up nonsense :chuckle:
The only thing the Founding Fathers were concerned about was ensuring that a president didn't become corrupt with variable wages or selling out the office.
They will find literally anything to bash Trump, even saving people's tax money. The person who wrote that article is a liberal arts professor- the people who have these college students thinking the way they think and doing what they do

As long as you start with Israel.
nah, I would start with iran.
Likewise, there's symbolism in his attempt to refuse to take a salary, isn't there?
But I assume he primarily takes his salary in Rubles.
