Are MPs underpaid or Head Teachers overpaid?

The culture being practiced in their corporate world is that those in the higher ranks who keep the rank and file ( the lower teachers) paid ridiculously low salaries get paid more, sort of incentive for starving those underneath them. That same culture applies in health care.

So with blood monies keeping their salaries HIGH,who are OVERPAID?

The mps RESPONSIBLE FOR MILKING THE PEOPLE for TAXES (hug them make them feel ok while pickpocketing their last coins from their back pocket) or the head teachers ?

Simple. Look at the ones who are working hard and pay those ones a fair wage. I repeat a FAIR wage,which does not necesarily mean the amount they wanted.

Incomes paid to MPs should be means tested just like benefits are. Many MPs come to the House of Commons with already large incomes from their Law and Journalistic activities.

For example. Where an MP already has an existing income from another source, the amount we pay should be deducted from what he/she already has coming in.

Thus where an MP has an income from outside of the Commons of say £200,000 we should simply look at that and deduct from it the £65,000 which we pay them - thus they get minus £65,000 and a very strongly controlled expenses account too.

MPs are a law unto themselves and have forgotten that they are our servants and not we there's.

The only purpose in paying an MP a salary is to ensure that a wider selection of the public can get elected to Parliament - there is no other reason to pay them at all. Just look at the front bench of the Tories - not just rich but multi-millionaires all of them.

I don't mind a person being rich but I see no reason why I should have may incomes taxed to the hilt to pay these people even more money than they've got already and then find myself fiddling with a few pence in the supermarket wondering can we have Marmite this month or not.

That is the situation.

In any event, things are moving at a rapid pace and soon both banks and politicians will be out of the frame, as these two links will help explain.

MPs don't earn a penny of the money they steal it from under our noses and blame everyone else when it is found out. HeadTeachers need to be performance based if anything but we need talented head teachers more than talented politicians.

MPs say that in order to attract the best people they need to pay better wages. This is nonsense, the recent MPs expenses scandal as well as recent lobbying scandals go to show that financial incentives appeal mainly to the avaricious and end up in a Parliament full of self interested, money mad egoists who are selling the country down the river for their own financial benefit.

Cut MPs pay to £30,000 a year and attract people who want to get into politics because of a sense of civic responsibility rather that a sense of personal material gain.

Both. The good ones are underpaid. The bad ones are overpaid.

They are all overpaid

headteachers do not get expenses , MP;s get 120 pounds a week for food and a second home with all utility bills paid

Both are overpaid drastically.

There should be a maximum as well as minimum wage which NOBODY can earn more than. Any extras for those (who can't possibly live on a reasonable amount), who do carry immense responsibility AND do an excellent job should be in the form of a bonus at the end of the year which would be taxed at a much higher rate than ordinary earnings.

under their own directions they should be paid on results that puts them on the minimum wage like half the country they are in control everything is down to them we are in austerity because they let the banks loose and lost control the country is in a mess, they do not suffer at all and want a rise. They

enjoy the social structure that pays and looks after them even when they fail yet try to destroy the same thing for everybody else

I suppose compared to footballers bankers and actors, no they are not overpaid. But I do not think they are on bad wages at all. Especially head teachers. I would like to see all teachers paid more and taking on more responsibility instead of Head teachers getting ridiculously high salaries.

Head teachers should get nothing if the school produces idiots and imbecile's at a large rate .Hold on most MPs are like that.
