Nowadays, entertainers get paid more than politicians. What are the reasons for this? Is this a negative or positive development?

✨ Do you want to improve your IELTS writing?
In recent years, a lot has changed regarding the salaries.
Although
politicians are responsible for running the
country
, nowadays, entertainers get paid more handsomely than politicians.
This
change has both negatives and positives,
however I
Accept comma addition
however, I
believe that the negatives outweigh the merits.
Firstly
, politicians have to work more than the average citizen of a
country
. They are
also
responsible for not just the well being of
country
Suggestion
the country
, but
also
the wellbeing of citizens. Presidents, prime ministers, cabinet ministers and other members of legislative assembly have numerous roles, and most of these people receive continuous threats from citizens who are unhappy with their decisions. It's important to understand that a single decision can not help everyone, there will always be 5% - 10% people who will oppose the decision. It is remarkable that even after threats to their lives, they continue to work for the people and make sure that citizens stay happy.
Secondly
, the countries' development too is dependent on the politicians and not the entertainers. Most of the decisions regarding the excise duties, electronics, transportation and even energy sector are always made by politicians, and they are made keeping interests of people in mind.
For instance
, in India, politicians have taken up the initiative to become free from obscene content available on the internet, they have
also
taken an initiative to bring in electric vehicles and have reduced excise duty massively.
However
, there are some benefits for increased pay for the entertainment industry. Politicians do a good job at developing the
country
, but they certainly do not help people to stay entertained or happy.
This
is why the entertainers in recent years have gained immense appraise and people now prefer to be entertained rather than be made aware about different trade policies. Due to the increased demand for entertainers, it is natural for the industry to grow and the entertainers to earn more.
Furthermore
, it is a good thing to keep the nation safe, but it is equally important for the people to have freedom and have the right to enjoy. In conclusion,
although
the entertainers are helping people laugh and enjoy their time, it's wrong to keep the pay fixed for politicians and increase the pay given to entertainers.
Likewise
, the pay of both politicians and entertainers must be increased in similar proportion to ensure that the citizens are enjoying and at the same time the nation is growing.
