      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.

          A perfect system would necessarily be mutable. If we couldn’t fuck it up, it wouldn’t be perfect, just rigid and unforgiving.
