I was just reading about Congress’ nice little pay raise. Gosh, they sure did a swell job this year, huh? I think they all deserve an extra freezer-full of cash. Well, it got me thinking about how congressional pay should be determined.
So here’s a crazy idea: Tie congressional pay to Federal tax revenues.
“What?” you cry! “That will just motivate them to jack our taxes up even farther!”
It might. At first. But when they realize that their pay is tied to the reality that lower tax rates mean higher tax revenues…
Well, it’s a thought. Can’t be much worse than now, at any rate. What do you think?
