There are waiters that earn more money than the Prime Minister. By the way, the gross salary of the Prime Minister is 54000nis per month.
-- MK Dudi Amsalem, in Knesset committee debate discussing the issue of tax exemptions for PM Netanyahu's private house in Ceasaria
waiters make that much? on tips?
The PM should make a good salary. He should be the highest paid public servant. I don't know what that number should be, but it is a 24/7 job, in addition to being the most important and prominent position and he should be paid a salary commensurate with the importance of his position. We can also take into account that he has nearly no expenses, so almost everything can go into savings. Plus, especially with Netanyahu, everything personal with him gets paid for by "friends", except for the falafel he buys when election season gets into gear. But still, he should earn a top public servant salary..
