Cut the base pay of politicians down to that of your average high school teacher.

That way you only get those who truly want to serve the people into the positions.

and only the rich ones.  Which, while there are actually a lot of poorer people who get elected to congress.

Well them and people who love kickbacks and bribery and now have a new reason for it.

Well, and people like Harry Reid who specifically write legislation to greatly inflate the value of their investments.

 

Well i guess my point is... pretty much nobody joins congress for the good pay... as there are tons of better ways to make money using congress.
