Congress should NOT be allowed to give themselves raises while keeping the rest of us in poverty by not raising minimum wage for over 20 years.οΏΌ

If Democrats retake Congress, they need to start by cleaning their own House and Senate of all this corrupt self-dealing bullshit.

I will vote for anyone running for Congress who promises to cut their own wage and those of their fellow Congress members and senators...

If congressional wages were attached to federal minimum wage, the entire country would be experiencing a living wage damn fast.

UBI for me but not for thee is no way to run Congress.

And yet a universal basic income program for the rest of us is not considered viable, while EVERYONE in Congress gets UBI as a matter of daily life.

We would start by making every Congress member and senator live on minimum wage. Serving our government was never meant to be a career. It was supposed to be an honor and privilege. But money close to power has corrupted our government for far too long.

The people should have to vote on congressional pay raises. (I know, it would be unwieldy. But it would serve them right)
