Your heart is in the right place, but the last thing we want to do is make them more incentivized to accept bribes.
Those who are inclined to accept bribery, are not people we want to be leaders. They should be leaders because they find it interesting or want to help their communities, not to become rich.
What I proposed is part of an economic UBI concept that I put together, where incomes from jobs are fixed and rank based, with the rank based on the effort, risk, and knowledge that a job entails. IMO, that would make it harder for employers to commit wage theft, because everyone knows how much money their job should bring in, nation-wide. That makes it easier to diagnose corruption, because outliers have less camouflage of 'circumstances' to hide behind. All leadership roles in companies and politics have employees and voters voting for the employment and pay rank of their respective critters.
It is through complicated rules, exploits, and obscuration that the wealthy retain their wealth by being selfish jerks. If the Constitution is replaced by a newer model, economics deserves a section of its own.
