Decrease Salary, Benefits, & Annual budget for each member of Congress. And eliminate matching their 401K contributions

Created by L.M. on December 21, 2012

Congress is overpaid, average salary & perks amounts to $285,000 annually,(higher for house leaders) plus 2-4 million dollar budget for operation expenses, free medical, travel, per diem has to stop. My tax dollars do not need to match their 401K, when I can't afford my own 401K. They are paid more than they are worth and we need to stop. They are the biggest waste in Washington. If they miss a vote, they should pay a penalty fee. Lets reduce the deficit and send them all a clear message.
