They shouldn't be allowed to vote salary increases for themselves unless they get at least a 70% favorable rating.
- I always thought that their salaries should be determined by something like a multiple of the median salary. Country/State/District, whatever.
  
  Now that's a fucking great idea. Let's ban legal bribery while we're at it
  
  As long as that multiple is zero
  
  Only slightly kidding
- Eh, less salary means only wealthy ppl can be in congress. What we need is for a lifetime forfeiture of all assets other than those provided by the state. You join congress, you get room and board for life, but nothing else.
  
  OR, now hear me out, term limits. No more career politicians.
  
  That's basically like putting them all in jail, which is not a bad idea, but for totally different reasons
- I say they should be able to, if minimum wage is increased by the same percentage.
  
  Or cap their wages to inflation.
There's absolutely no reason to have a mirror of the data but faded.

The average person can extrapolate that if 25% of people like something, then roughly 75% of people hate it.
- You can also have an indifferent or neutral opinion.
- I think you overestimate the intelligence of the average person
