Petition to limit politician's wages

Created by R.M. on November 21, 2012

A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. Congress must finance their own retirement plan. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void. Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.
