  • I think political offices should come with a reasonable wage. Otherwise it becomes impossible for non-rich people to fill the roles. (This is more applicable to local, smaller offices)

    I propose a simple solution. Take the median salary of their constituency and make that the pay. It should make it livable at least, and give incentive to get that number up.

    For offices such as Senate/Congress where they need a second house because of the frequent travel between DC and their constituency a housing stipend is in order.

    Seems totally reasonable to me.












  • That uh, does seem more tame than the US.

    The pledge was every single morning, in my experience AFTER the national anthem and a moment of silence. We had to stand for the whole thing. (And in Texas, also have to do a Texas pledge)

    Then if course we had our insanely biased teaching of history, minimizing our genocide and slavery. Forcing us to learn about important founders to a degree that they become sort of semi-god figures.
