@Dan_1348 Massive salaries have not been shown to attract fantastic people. It HAS been shown to attract immoral, greedy people who'll cut regulations and staff levels to the bone if it makes them a bit more profit. These are people for whom there can never be enough, so they'll seek to take and take at exponentially higher rates.

@flucazade You married to an MP or something? It's not a myth, they've been caught out multiple times.

@matham625 No, you wouldn't. They'd just go back to being craftier about it. You're STILL just trying to appeal to people motivated by greed and hoping they'll be altruistic.
