Low Pay + Paper Bags = Better Congress

Linux is a peculiar operating system.  Unlike its competitors, it is open source software. Yet, despite the lack of corporate structure surrounding its development, many argue that it is the most powerful and most reliable operating system on the market.  That's because its developers actually want to work on it.  They don't do it for the money or the glory, they do it because they like writing code. In truth, everything gets done better when the worker does it because of interest and not for money. I wish congress cared more about their work and less about getting re-elected. To help this happen, I suggest that congressmen wear paper bags over their heads and receive much less pay.  If that were the case, people would become politicians because they want to do politics and help their community, not to get rich or famous.  If congressmen cared about their work as much as Linux programs do about Linux, congress would be a much more effective political body.
