    Yep, this. I’d be fine with rather huge increases to their salaries on one hand, and with the other I’d:

    • Ban them from owning stocks

    • Limit employment options in senior positions of large companies for x time after their term ends

    • Outlaw personal gifts and favourable treatment (gifts should go to the state)

    etc.
