Current Government Corruption
In 2023, the United States spent almost $100 million on the salaries of 357 elected officials.
Congress
Senators - 17.4 million
Representatives - 75.69 million
Senate leadership - 1.55 million
House leadership - 1.16 million
VP - 235,100
President - 400,000
= $95.8 million
The average salary in the US around $64,000 yet the annual salary for US House of Representatives is $174,000
Proposed Change:
Reduce salary to $65,000, which will return $60 million back to budget. This also ensures elected officials are representing the people.
Elected officials should be representing the people. It is impossible to represent the majority of Americans if you do not live like them. It is apparent that many elected officials have a significant conflict of interest in their current positions.
Proposed Change:
In order to decrease corruption from Officials employed to serve the people, we must restrict the ability of monetary gain while in office.
Elected Officials/Federally Appointed Individuals cannot:
Own/sell stocks
Be a part of any large company
Participate in Personal business ventures
