All congress members should make exactly what the median salary is for the region that they represent. Also, they should be banned from any external revenue during their time in office.
Honestly, I think they should make A LOT more. Like double or triple their current salary.
But they should also be forbidden from insider trading and lobbying or working for any industry they had a part in legislation for during their tenure. Penalties should be extremely harsh, felonies with jail time. Mandatory yearly audits of them and all direct family.
No it's a part time job at best. They need to have full time jobs and then work pt and stay in their districts except several times a year when they go to DC to vote on legislation.
Better yet. All elected officials should be paid by their states. On their states persi retirement if they want to give it to them and never allowed to vote for a raise for themselves.

They're not asking because they don't have too. You'll pay them more or else. This isn't a flaw in the system, this is the system.
congessional pay should be based on the GDP of the area they serve, oh wait my bad, they dont serve they rob. That would eliminate the welfare states.
