I heavily disagree. We are already in a situation were poor people don't even fucking bother to vote anymore because none of the politicians live on the same planet as they do.
None of these millionaire douchebags are relatable at this point.

In my view there should just be a law that says congresspeople can't have their net worth increase by more than their after tax salary period. Then, when we find one of them doing corrupt things we should send them to prison.
