Our congressmen ,councilmen etc., claim they are looking out for the common man, how can they claim that they are looking out for us when making 100,000 to 300,000 a year. I think the cure would be to have a petition put on the next ballot that NO POLITICIAN , can make over 50,000 a year. We the people should vote on their raises. I bet we would all like a job where we vote for our own raises.  That  would weed out money grubbers , if they lived live the common man they would fight harder for the common man. This would save the economy billions of dollars just in their salaries and perks alone!!!!!!!

This is bi-party problem, Reps and Dems alike are STEALING, our money!!!!!!!!!

That would be a great idea...but if the American people did the petition, you know the politicians will find a way around it...just like the 27th Amendment by doing the cost of living increase route.

You are right tem123. It will take a constitutional amendment to change the govt pay structure. Moreover, to change all the things we really want changed would require about 100 amendments to the constitution. Sounds ridiculous but that's the way it is. However, change isn't gonna happen because the country is split on everything 50/50 and has been since the early 90's.

If our` politician`s pay rate was based on their` performance, about 85% of them would starve to death. The days when politicians served the public are gone. Political position is the end of the rainbow. The pot of gold awaits, and they know it. "So long to service to my` country !" " Hello to my` pockets being lined !"

sounds like a good ideal. with their income decrease they should have to pay a $500. deductible every year for each family member w/a $25. co-pay for each doctor visit. no more driving/chauffeured around in extra large SUV's. they should have bicycles or electric scooters at best.
