Will Said:

"While the salaries are higher than an average citizen's annual salary, you should also consider that it usually takes much more money than that to get elected in the first place."

Personally, I'm somewhat suspicious of someone willing to spend millions for a job that pays a couple hundred thousand...I mean, if they aren't in it for the pay, you have to wonder just what exactly, they are getting out of it. Bush's 'inner circle' could work for free and donate all their pay to chairity, and still not have to worry about money..
