Created by C.W. on September 24, 2013

The average government salary of congress is $175000. While many would argue this is to dissuade politicians from taking bribes. Anyone who uses this argument particularly politicians are stating that they themselves are corrupt and are not trustworthy of that office. Congressional salaries should be set to match the average american yearly income currently $50,233.00. This should fluctuate yearly to let those in office feel the strains and gains of the economy.
