The real solution is to impose a maximum wage on lawyers. As a lawyer I would happily support a maximum wage. Most lawyers are sickenly money-crazed.

I think the opposite would be a more effective reform - make their base salary so absurdly high that there's basically no incentive for them to take on frivolous lawsuits.
What kind of threshold do you think would be suitable for this approach?

Although a $1 million cap would hardly affect me, it's interesting to see people generally right of Center talking about a maximum salary for lawyers when any such talk about corporate Executives and like would be met with screams of socialism and squashing the American entrepreneurial spirit.

Probably $1,000,000? I dunno, I think you could probably have an economist actually crunch the numbers on it to find out what the optimal salary would be.
If a base salary of a lawyer is a million dollars, then they would be in the top 1% of households.

Yes, they would.

We should pay members of Congress $1M salaries for the same reason. Pay them enough that it becomes absolutely pointless to try and bribe them.

Right, because as we know, once humans reach a certain level of wealth they just stop wanting more.

The left is so incoherent.

You guys really think a member of Congress earning a million dollars a year would be just as easy to bribe as one earning a bit over 200k? As noted, individual levels of greed will obviously being affected by one's income regardless in certain circumstances. Or put another way, isn't it a lot easier to suborn a member of Congress earning a bit over 200k a year when over 90% of them have to maintain dual households for their job?
