MODERATORS
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.
Now that's a fucking great idea. Let's ban legal bribery while we're at it
As long as that multiple is zero
Only slightly kidding
In my mind the multiple would go anywhere from 2.0 - 0.8. Of course in my world voters would hold their reps responsible for their votes and corruption, so I'm just whistling in the wind here.
I could see 2x of the lower of mean or median.
Yeah...
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.
OR, now hear me out, term limits. No more career politicians.
Political office was intended to be a public service not a profession.
That's basically like putting them all in jail, which is not a bad idea, but for totally different reasons
What more American than putting ppl into jail?
