Congress Paid Average Median Income of Represented Area

We need to stop the lobbying and corruption but also need to encourage success for everywhere in America. I believe congress should be paid accordingly to the area they represent. If the median household income of the area you represent is $86,000 a year, why pay them $200,000 in tax dollars with retirement and health insurance? This is the disconnect of these corrupt politicians and the American people.

I also just read that Congress have extra perks, that elevate them above normal taxpayers, example, they wrote into law a $3,000 Annual income tax deduction for maintaining a second residence.
Why is Congress putting laws in, that only benefit then, why are they allowed to do this, with out the American people approving it.
Members of our government seem to get away with a lot, this needs to stop.
