I do not agree that having them work for nothing would improve anything. The corruption comes from corrupt corporate America. Corrupt corporate America pays corrupt politicians more than taxpayers do. No honest man could afford to work for nothing. If we paid nothing, then only millionaire's/billionaires or those hoping to receive graft from corrupt corporations would or could run for office. The solution is to weed out the corrupt politicians who are receiving the bribes from the corrupt lobbyists/corporations.
