    How about this:

    We pay politicians in “X times the minimum wage”; for the sake of this example I’ll say 30x the minimum wage (too much? Too little? I don’t know, that’s not important rn)

    The thing is, they can’t change this number, at all. The only way they can increase their salaries is to increase the minimum wage.
