Politicians should be restricted to minimum wage. Its supposed to be a public service, not a fuckin career. You're supposed to do it because you want to speak for the people. Maybe then they'd move their asses.

Tale as old as Rome. Maybe we shouldn't have taken so much from them.

Sounds like a great way to ensure only the wealthy hold office. Also, the government salary is hardly breaking the bank. These people get their money from the wealthy, not from our taxes.
