I think we should calculate and publish the difference in income (not pay) between the members of congress and the lowest paid person in their state/district, then cut their pay accordingly. I don’t think a congressman should make more than ten times the income of their lowest paid constituent, do you?
I’d be happy with calculating wealth and doing the same thing... tax away Congressional wealth until they are only ten times the average wealth for their district.
Now THAT’S a proposal we can rally around.
I agree.
