To reduce retroactively the salaries of the Members of Congress to 1/3 or less for lack of work.

Created by H.D. on May 16, 2013

Politicians are the employees of the people. If any civilian has to work from 251 days to 350 days a year for more than 8 hours a day each day. Why on earth we are paying an annual salary of $174,000 to Members of Congress when they are only working for about 106 days with less than 8 hours in a day?

Members of Congress actually working for this country, for the people, by the people should work not less than 260 a year, and each day with a minimum of 8 hours.

If Members of Congress cannot produce a minimum amount of bills to improve the lives of the people (like Job Bills, Minimum Wages, etc.), should suffer a deduction of their salary for every month that they cannot agree, for every filibuster, or unwilling or lack of prosecutions against special interest groups, wall street, etc.
