A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office.
2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security.
All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.
3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.
4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.
7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 1/1/13. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women.
I AM READING THROUGH EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR COMMENTS AND THE FRUSTRATION IS ABSOLUTELY REAL!! WE ARE HOLDING CONGRESS ACCOUNTABLE BECAUSE IT IS TIME FOR THEM TO LIVE BY THE EXACT SAME RULES AS THE REST OF US!!

Finally some common sense. Treat them like regular employees and watch how fast they start acting like it.

They should have to live by the same rules as the rest of us. Tired of seeing them get rich while the rest of the country struggles to pay bills. Time for a change.

About time. Why are they allowed to vote on their own raises?? It is a total scam.
