Re: I say if... The problem I see with this approach is that the VAST majority in Congress are already wealthy. Yes, some of the perks like retirement and medical will be difficult to pry from their hands, but that's because most wealthy people are such because of greed. It would be very difficult for someone like myself, who makes ~100k per year, between current wages and military retirement, to actually run for Congress, much less be able to live on congressional salary (the requirement to maintain 2 households would just about use up the salary a freshman congresscritter makes, not to mention travel btwn home an DC, etc., and I have NO money anywhere else in my family, either mine or my spouse). | |

| Very valid points there. Still, something needs to be done to discourage the rampant greed and corruption. I believe Congress, et al is the root of many of the problems we face today. Or maybe I'm just being too naive.
