New Rules

[Uben]

Members of congress get paid 150K/yr, pay for their own insurance, are ineligible to ever be lobbyists, are not allowed to take any freebies from anyone. Don't like it, don't run. Until we take the money out of politics, it will be corrupt.

These narcissistic pigs need to be kicked to the curb, ridiculed, and in some cases, imprisoned. Just a bunch of fucking criminals who think they are above the law.

1. If they want to give everyone insurance

then they don't have to pay for their own insurance.

2. I would go far more severe than that.

I would first drop the income number to the median income of the lower 60% of the US population. Homeless and unemployed get factored into that median income.

They can be given that salary for a lifetime, but are not allowed to ever be a lobbyist, work for a corporation with greater than 150 employees worldwide, or work in any industry that involves "commodities" such as oil, natural gas, coal or other future finite power sources after they retire or are voted out. They are also banned from ever working as a stock broker, real estate agent, insurance agent, or anything in banking.

Upon election all of their assets excluding 1 home valued at less than 500K must be liquidated and placed into either the SS fund or Medicare fund. Every asset period.




Then we can sit back and watch the unemployment numbers drop below 1% and minimum wage skyrocket to $25/hour in less than a decade. The only people that would run would be people that cared about the country and its citizens first, not the top 1% and where they will end up after giving them the farm.
