We Need to Pay Congress Members More Money…

1 Comment

I know this sounds nuts… but we have to pay members of Congress more money.

A lot more money.

I know that sounds nuts because the people we have in Congress right now are complete losers– folks that just represent the parties and NOT the people.

But that’s exactly the problem.

Because the position pays so LOW compared to other high-powered professional careers it only attracts LOSERS who only care about attention and NOT about doing what the people need done.

And I get it– powerful people like Troutman should WANT to serve in Congress no matter how little they get paid but that’s just not reality.

We need to be smart and get our heads out of the clouds.

If you want the best people working for you YOU HAVE TO PAY THEM.

$1.9MM a year sounds about right.

Nuts right?

But that’s what the top lawyers and business owners make (or even more).

So if we want REALLY qualified people in office we have to pay the position what its worth.

Then qualified people will run for office and the losers in Congress will all LOSE their jobs and the nation will WIN again.

The Czar of TCPAWorld Eric J. Troutman is one of the country’s prominent class action defense lawyers and is nationally recognized in Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) litigation and compliance. He has served as lead defense counsel in more than 250 national TCPA class actions and has litigated nearly a thousand individual TCPA cases in his role as national strategic litigation counsel for major banks and finance companies. He also helps industry participants build TCPA-compliant processes, policies, and systems. Eric has built a national litigation practice based upon deep experience, rigorous analysis and extraordinary responsiveness. Eric and his team feel equally at home litigating multibillion dollar telecommunications class actions in federal court as they do developing and executing national litigation strategies for institutions facing an onslaught of individual TCPA matters. They thrive in each of these roles – delivering consistently excellent results – while never losing sight of the client experience. While many firms now tout TCPA expertise, Eric has been there from the beginning. He built one of the country’s first TCPA-only defense teams and began serving as national TCPA counsel for his clients nearly a decade ago. This perspective allows him to swiftly develop the right litigation strategies for dealing with recurring problems, without wasting time on tactics that are bound to fail. Eric’s rich historical perspective and encyclopedic knowledge of the TCPA landscape also make him an invaluable resource to institutional compliance teams struggling to comply with the shifting regulatory landscape. No task is too small – or too big. Indeed, Eric and his team have helped build TCPA-compliant systems and processes for some of the largest and most complex corporate entities in the country. He commonly works with in-house compliance counsel to build and implement enterprise and business-line specific TCPA solutions, performs TCPA audits and drafts and reviews proposed TCPA policies and procedures. He and his team also have the technical expertise necessary to assist call centers seeking to develop TCPA-resistant call path architecture or to modify existing telephony and software integration to better insulate from potential TCPA exposure. Eric has built a reputation for thought leadership. An avid blogger and speaker, he has been at the forefront of the industry’s effort to push for clarity and a return to sanity for the TCPA for years. He was selected to advocate for the financial services industry on important TCPA issues before the Federal Communications Commission and co-authored the nation’s only comprehensive practice guide on TCPA defense. In his spare time, Eric leads defense teams representing banks and other financial services companies in consumer finance litigation matters. He has experience representing clients in UCC, TILA, RESPA FCRA, CCRA, CLRA, FDCPA, RFDCPA and FCCPA claims, as well as in fraud and bank operations issues.

  1. I believed previously that going into politics meant public service first and foremost above all else. Your suggestion that congressional appointees need more in salary’s in my opinion is and will be the root infection that will feed even more corruption into government service in general, if congress gets a raise what’s to keep everyone else down the chain of command from demanding more inflating the cost of bureaucracy beyond what it already is today. The separation of public service remuneration versus private or commercial interests should remain personal career and economical choices in a capitalistic democracy. In my opinion a progressive taxation system based on capitalistic ideals balanced with some semblance of socialistic principles should be considered to evolve progressively from economic dilemmas we suffer from today in America. The third or abolishment of the two party system should be founded on an evolutionary belief that the country can progress dominantly in a global perspective that is not mired in historical partisanship.
