    Most of the fix should be much simpler. Pay them each $600k, indexed to inflation.

    That should make them pretty resistant to bribery. Your quality of life really doesn’t improve much past that $600k point, even if you’re maintaining two houses. (And the justices aren’t representatives. They don’t need a second house.)

    But yes, their tax returns should be public as well.

      Yes but once you make that much, then amassing more money turns into a game of how you can fuck over the most people to increase your value. See: every billionaire in existance.
