Congress should not be a career.
Why not? Learning the ways of Congress takes time, and some of the most effective legislators have been folks who were there for a while. And the need to build connections that could lead to post-Congressional employment might have the perverse effect of entwining legislators even more tightly into the web of monied interests.

IMO, Congress critters should not receive anything except that portion paid into SS, Medicare, etc.
"Congress critters" is a bit sophomoric, no? More substantively, wouldn't this mean that only independently wealthy people could afford to serve in Congress?
