That would just incentivize our politicians to accept bribes
It’s far easier for them to get away with corruption than it would be to bring up the average household income of the whole country
It wouldn’t even have to be outright corruption, they can just pass very favorable laws for certain wealthy corporations, where they will coincidentally be offered a highly paid “consulting” role after leaving office
The budget for our leaders’ accommodations should be pegged to the average household income. Change my mind.
I’d go with median
Dont give the regime whores an inch 🐸
Median would be lower. Wealth concentration at the top brings the average up.

Not if the penalty for accepting bribes and favors is having dollar bills stuffed in their trachea.
Nah cut the average in half and then cut it in half again. They should live like poor people they refuse to help.
