    Congress gets minimum wage

    Only works in a country where politicians can’t enrich themselves through heredity or graft. As it stands, the bulk of a Congressman’s fortune accrues before (family/career) or after (lobbyist/book deals) they take high office.

      Unfortunately, there is no perfect system when humans are involved. We’ll either fuck it up or change our minds on what is perfect.
