225k is already an extremely generous salary.

I don't care who you are, or what power you think you have, I don't see why society should tolerate your greed if you think you need or deserve more than that. That buys an extremely comfortable life anywhere you look.

I don't see why we should tolerate people seeking extravagant lives over comfortable ones. It's disgusting.

Seriously you're arguing a multi-millionaire needs a higher salary give your head a shake.

Okay! Then make that apply to everyone, and maybe that could work. Note, that means no 10mil more bonuses for bankers, no 600k salaries for engineers or wall street traders, etc.

Otherwise why would you pay an important public servant shit (comparatively) while you pay the bankers who are a leech on our economy handsomely?

No one said anything about bankers and engineers or whoever else. I'm fine with them making less too.

Post I was replying to was literally advocating for a higher salary for someone with a 9 figure net worth. As though MORE money would make her behave less greedy.

Absurd.
