    They shouldn’t be allowed to vote salary increases for themselves unless they get at least a 70% favorable rating.

      I always thought that their salaries should be determined by something like a multiple of the median salary. Country/State/District, whatever.

      Eh, less salary means only wealthy ppl can be in congress. What we need is for a lifetime forfeiture of all assets other than those provided by the state. You join congress, you get room and board for life, but nothing else.

      I say they should be able to, if minimum wage is increased by the same percentage.

      Or cap their wages to inflation.
