My view of 'politicians should work for free' is that you get what you pay for. I'm not making fun of your question, that is a true answer. You have to consider who would do the work that doesn't need to take home a paycheck to house and feed themselves and/or a family.
Those available would be people wealthy enough that don't really need to have a job. Some of them would be good candidates, that's the demographic that the Kennedy brothers came from. However, too many wealthy people are clueless when it comes to how everyone else has to live and what their needs are. Another pool of candidates may be retired people who live on retirement benefits (I'd vote for that group). But so many retired people have been planning to relax in their 'golden years' and politics is not relaxing. Another available group of able bodied that, for the most part don't hold jobs, are the two million (give or take) incarcerated prisoners. Perhaps if we tapped into this group to hold the political offices, we might not be able to tell the difference from who we have now. The last group available that don't hold paying jobs is the unemployable (addicts, etc.). You see the inherent problem with the plan. Having these limited groups of available candidates isn't really an improvement on the current system. That's my view.
