Politicians should be forced to retire at 77, the average American lifespan. Pay should be capped at $60K - the average American salary. Healthcare should cost them minimally $500/month, like we pay. If you want to represent the us, live like us.
THE above is from a facebook post by U.S. Democratic Socialist. It expresses opinions I have held for a few years now because, I do not believe employees of Americans (i.e. politicians) should be paid more than the average American's salary nor should their benefits exceed those of average Americans. I would level the playing field even more and make sure politicians vacation time, sick time, family leave time, child care, family care, elder care, and maternity leave is the same as the average American's. Politicians are the only employees who are able to make sure they are paid more than and their benefits exceed those of their employers, the American people. It is time for that to stop. My e mails to my representative and senators are at the end of this post.....

I expect you to introduce and support legislation that will establish a mandatory retirement age for members of Congress and bring congressional pay and benefits in line with the averages of the American people.
