Why 4x minimum wage? How could they represent the poorest people in a country if they make quadruple the money?
If they cant live with minimum wage, its their problem to solve

It's [supposed to be] a demanding position. Relative to the skills we should be demanding these people to have, the pay they currently get is actually not that impressive.

4 times as demanding sounds kinda funny. 254000× or whatever sounds like religious fairy tales. To the guillotines.

Wtf are you talking about? Congress's salary is only ~178k.

Congress is the 4. Private sector is the ∞.

No one in this thread had mentioned private sector. Try to stay on topic.
