This is a cause that I have come up with, and I think it a noble one. Get more details on the Facebook group page, but the jist is:
U.S. taxpayer dollars should never allow a U.S. official (Representative, Senator, President, judge, or anyone else whose salary is paid by public taxes) to make MORE than the salary for his/her position.
Example: If a Senator’s 2009 salary is $174k, but he/she made $80k on a real estate deal in 2009, they would only be allowed to keep $94k in wages from the federal government.
President Obama said in his State of the Union speech last night:
Families across the country are tightening their belts and making tough decisions. The federal government should do the same.
I think my idea is a very simple way for him and for Congress (and others) to demonstrate that. Check it out.
