No, reducing their salaries from current rather middling levels would only make corruption more likely.

@QuixoticSoul Yep. Congresspeople make shit money compared to what they'd make in the private sector.

@Ynotisay I feel like most people complaining about their salaries live in the countryside and have no idea how much white-collar professionals typically earn in major cities.

@QuixoticSoul We need field trips for the left and the right to meet each other face to face

@QuixoticSoul I think you're absolutely right. The ironic thing to me is those folks beat their chests about public servant salaries yet turn a blind eye to corporate greed and the biggest wealth disparity we've ever seen. They've been trained well.

Supply and demand. Any moron can be elected to the House. Nancy proves that. @Ynotisay

@JenKarl You can't.

@JenKarl Sorry. I'm a grown up. You might be better off gearing that stuff towards others.
