杨的确提议给总统加薪至每年$4M,*前提是*离职后不得收演讲费或董事会成员报酬入私囊。 “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/
目的是消除总统做决定时为了将来的个人利益而“照顾”潜在关系户的动机。
同时为了避嫌,杨特地声明,假如他当选不会拿所提议的薪水。高薪从下一任开始。
“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/
