Totally unrelated:

NH has a House with 400 members ?

In a state with only 1 Mio. people ?

Tongue

The NH House has more members than a majority of sovereign countries:  http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_legislatures_by_number_of_members

Each member is paid only $200 for the entire two-year session.

A model state in so many regards......

Imagine if this system was implemented at the federal level?

Only wealthy people could go in politics?
The State HoR is a part-time job, congressman isn't.

Make congressman work part time, force them to get jobs back home. The Swiss do it that way in fact.

Reducing congressional pay gets rid of the incentive for people to join congress for monetary reasons, obviously considering the campaign funding laws in the country atm it doesn't mean sh**t because you have to be a millionaire to run anyway......
