Congress should give up their pay

No more pay for politicians-9% approval rating does not equal pay. If you lived amongst us you would be fired.

Why is this important?

Congress aproval rating is 9 and thats not based on a 10, that's 9% out of 100%. The average yearly pay in Congress is $174,000. The Median wealth of all members in Congress is $911,510. The average salary in the US is $47,000 and they will tax us more. You see the reason they won't raise taxes on the wealthy (just pay what we pay) Is because they will be affected. Essentially if they did not receive pay or lobbyist monies they in turn will less likely to tthink of themselves. A seat in Congress should not be your only job. Especially for someone who goes to work half the time and doesn't produce anything.
