While the idea is nice because it seeks to tie the representative’s success to ours; too many elected officials are independently wealthy from their public salaries.
In some states being a state rep isn’t paid well or is only a few weeks of work a year. But I would love a law that makes the Fed minimum wage no less than half a house rep salary.
They should tie minimum wage to their representative’s salary.

Perhaps tied to CPI?
