Lower the salary of the President, Congress, House of Reps, etc; to $42,979.61 a year, the average American salary.

Created by K.R. on January 16, 2013

Over the years, the 535 members of Congresses have repeatedly voted to increase their own salaries while leaving the rest of the People to fend for themselves. They enjoy private restaurants, gas stations with lower prices, retirement with full pension after one year of service, and many other benefits, as well as an average salary of $174,000. The President earns $400,000 and the current holder of that office has a $40 million dollar vacation home in Hawaii. We demand that these politicians come back down to our level and earn the same income as we do. In the beginning, people entered Congress for the honor of serving. We demand the salary is lowered for all in DC to the national average, and pensions erased. This will also go a long way towards erasing our debt.
