34. Brilliant, actually.

I never thought of tying Legislative income to general population results,, but this makes a lot of sense. Start with a lower base rate and peg bonus to the overall economic increase of society. Republicans oughta love this metric...it is how all executive payment should be benckmatked. That would change everything in Congress. Hurt us, you get hurt. Help us, you benefit. No-brainet.
