楊的確提議給總統加薪至每年$4M,*前提是*離職後不得收演講費或董事會成員報酬入私囊。 “we should raise the president’s salary from the current $400,000 to $4 million. However, anyone who served in the office would be barred from accepting speaking fees or lucrative board positions for personal gain after leaving office.” https://www.yang2020.com/policies/prevent-regulatory-capture-and-corruption/
目的是消除總統做決定時為了將來的個人利益而“照顧”潛在關係戶的動機。
同時為了避嫌,楊特地聲明,假如他當選不會拿所提議的薪水。高薪從下一任開始。
“And I’ll say, this raise can go into effect for the president after me. I do not give a shit how much I get paid” http://freakonomics.com/podcast/andrew-yang/
