Don't Work Don't get Paid our elected officials must do "We The People" business. No pay for No work.
Why is this important?
Congress has worked less than 200 days in calandar year 2012 the average pay for a congressman is $174,000 the average American family is $36,000, which is 4 times greater should we not expect 4 times the work Congress is notoriously known for not getting the job done. So let's make their jobs pay performance based. The easiest thing to do for any legislator is to show up for votes and many do not. So if you are a no show you do not get paid. No one in congress has the right not to show up for their job and be able to get paid. This is basic to any employee employer relationship, you must show up on time and be prepared to do your daily diligence. Congress has also been working less days per week, and months but they keep getting pay increases. If Congress decide to leave early and not complete "We The People", business their pay should reflect that. They should not receive full pay for no work or partial work.
