Congress members salary should be the average income of the state they represent

Congress members salary should be the average income of the state they represent. Wage increases to individual Congress members should be voted on in the general election as a representation of their home states approval or disapproval of the job they did in the proceeding year. Congress members should NOT be allowed to vote themselves into a pay raise. After leaving Congress, Congress members should be barred from working for lobbying firms for a period of at least 5 years.

Reduce Congress and alike pay to Americans medium income

Working for the people should not make people millionaires. Having the duty of working for the American people should be just that, your duty. People get into congress to become rich while selling out American people and illegal trading or business deals. Also, Congress can not vote to give themselves raises, the American people must do this during voting years. What sense does it make to give people $100,00 a year to waste our tax money and use their office to enrich themselves? Make their …

Regulated Pay For Congress

That way, if they want to make more money, the only way is to help their constituents make more money by making positive changes and policies that will help their district’s economy.

They AND their immediate family also should legally not be allowed to have ANY money in…

Congress pay should match the average income of citizens

Members of Congress currently are paid $174,000 per year which is much more than the average American citizen. While there should be extra income available for official trips (as long as it can be proven that it was legitimately used and they used reasonable accommodations rather than staying at the finest hotels etc.), earnings should not exceed what the average American citizen’s income is in the previous year. If they wish to have a raise, they should do things that cause the average Americ…

Congress Salaries Match Their State Salary Average

This would be a policy that would have congressional members of the House and Senate to be given salaries that match the average salary of their state. This would encourage elected politicians to fight for better wages in their state and they could not simply give themselves a raise without having to do work for it.

Congressional Pay

Congressional Pay is based off of the median household income of the constituents they represent plus 10%. Housing allowance is equal to the median rent prices in the districts they represent and based off of marital/juvenile dependent status. (EXAMPLE: One bedroom appartment for single or married no children; Two bedroom for single/married w/ one child etc) Stipend for hotel room or short term rental in D.C. paid for only Mon-Fri while congress is in an active session. Stipend based off o…

Each are for congress pay being tied to median income of state. These should be a combined topic not multiple conversations of the same thing.
