Mandate all politicians make the medium middle class wage while in office.
Ban all lobbying and any current ways politicians receive money from large corporations and the rich.
No longer use donations for use of running for office that should be an equal amount for each candidate paid for by the federal or state government.
As a benefit for serving their country they can have the same access as veterans to our veterans association and healthcare.
All pay raises for politicians need to be voted on by the people during election years.

I like this but 100% agree with a vote for pay raises for government officials. I also saw where someone said they should just make the federal minimum wage, if we keep that.

I think they should be capped at 60k per yr, freshman salary starting at 35k. Much lower and they aren’t going to feel very compelled to do what’s needed to be done. They can recieve yearly pay raises up to 3k per yr extra but they must undergo qtrly reviews. Failing two consecutive reviews triggers a special election to replace them. The max salary cap would probably need updated every 5yrs or so but that would go to a vote by the population. Actually every 4yrs so it could be decided during presidential elections.
