To: The United States House of Representatives and The United States Senate
Equity pay
The U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate shall not receive automatic wage increases and their pay will be determined by a reasonable percentage of the minimum wage.
Why is this important?
Most wage earners receive compensation based on the minimum wage that is decided upon by Congress. Since Congressional pay is not related to the minimum wage and is automatic; then they have no incentive to put a cost-of-living increase into the minimum wage. Therefore; it is proposed that congressional salary should not have automatic increases and should be determined by a reasonable percentage of the minimum wage.
