With all of the recent failures of Congress I feel it is time to give them some incentive to do more for their country. They should not be paid three to four times more than the average american when they prove time and time again that their education and or experience does nothing "FOR the people". Why are we paying these people for a service they are not providing? More so, why are we paying so much?
