The starting salary for Rank and File Members of the Congress is close to 4 TIMES that of the average american.
How can those chosen to speak for the common man make accurate decisions when they live above the means of the common man.
I would request that the salary of Congress be cut to $53,000 annually which is still about 10,000 more than the average citizen, but is more than enough for them to live their lives comfortably.
