There is something to be said about balancing the pay for people with high responsibility. If the pay isn't good enough you make it unreasonable for honest people, and instead you attract people who don't care about the pay because they intend to make a lot more money through corruption.
It seems, more often than not, rich people never have enough.
I don't know how likely it is you ever end up with honest people in these positions. They actively pursue them and at some point have to really think, "my opinions are so much better than everyone else's that I should be the authority telling them what they are, and are not, allowed to do." It seems deranged to me.
