They aren't getting rich off of being politicians. They move into the private sector and make 5-10 times what they make as senators. They're underpaid when you think about what they do for a living is running the most powerful nation !
I think they should be required to vote on every issue though, Which is a joke at this point. Some senators and congressmen vote 1 of 5 issues. This party crap is destroying this country. But Imagine how quickly we could go from being a great nation to a shitty one if there weren't these stale mates. The patriot act was passed because they didn't allow enough time to debate the pros-cons. Rather than debating they all unanimously voted and look how that worked out. I think sometimes you have to stand back and still admire how well our country has performed and how well we are performing today.
