The average compensation for a member of the board of directors at an S&P 500 company is ~$300,000/year. Goldman Sachs pays ~$600,000/year. Senators and Representatives are paid $174,000/year. I consider decision-making for the United States far more important than that of any one company in the S&P 500. Therefore, to be competitive, members of Congress should be paid at least twice what they are paid now.
