I think tying politician salary to median income (or even some weighted average of median and the lower percentiles) could be very good for politics. Along with remaking the system for lobbying (buying influence), which should be done in a very careful setting (maybe a public or semi-public forum), to bring legitimate concerns to politicians and not buy influence... (cost should not be a significant barrier to reaching congress members as much as legitimacy!)
