Cap Congressional salaries at $30,000 annually with a 3% cost of living increase dependent upon approval rating.

Created by C.B. on January 24, 2012

Congressional salaries are inconsistent with the current average salaries of their constituents. Members of Congress should have a salary cap of $30,000 annually with a 3% cost of living increase, which is received on a sliding scale based on approval rating. Existing pensions will also be reduced to $30,000 annually if the amount received currently exceeds the threshold. Any member of Congress which does not vote at a rate of not less than 90% will receive a reduced salary.
