A hypothetical bill I would like some input on

Do you have any thoughts on the matter or and improvements or additions you would like to make? **Title:** Government Representatives Minimum Wage and Super PAC Taxation Act **Section 1: Purpose** This act aims to ensure that government representatives in the United States live off the minimum wage of their respective states and to establish taxation on contributions received from Super PACs. **Section 2: Definitions** - "Government representatives" refers to elected officials serving in the United States Congress, including Senators and Representatives. - "Minimum wage" refers to the legally mandated minimum hourly wage set by each state. - "Super PACs" refer to political action committees that may raise and spend unlimited amounts of money in support of or opposition to political candidates. **Section 3: Requirement** 1. All government representatives shall be subject to the minimum wage laws of their respective states. 2. Government representatives shall receive compensation for their service in accordance with the minimum wage of their state, regardless of any other sources of income. 3. Any government representative who receives monetary contributions from Super PACs or similar entities shall be subject to an increased tax rate on such contributions, as determined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) based on the amount received. The increased tax rate shall be proportional to the amount of funds received from Super PACs. **Section 4: Implementation** 1. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) shall be responsible for ensuring compliance with this act. 2. The OPM shall establish guidelines and procedures for verifying and enforcing adherence to the minimum wage requirement for government representatives and the taxation of Super PAC contributions. 3. Violations of this act shall be subject to penalties determined by the OPM, including but not limited to fines and censure. **Section 5: Reporting** Government representatives shall annually submit a financial disclosure statement to the OPM, detailing their income sources and expenses, including any additional income beyond their government salary and contributions received from Super PACs. **Section 6: Taxation of Super PAC Contributions** 1. The IRS shall establish guidelines for determining the increased tax rate applicable to government representatives receiving contributions from Super PACs. 2. Government representatives shall report all monetary contributions received from Super PACs in their annual tax filings. 3. The IRS shall enforce the increased tax rate on Super PAC contributions and impose penalties for non-compliance. **Section 7: Effective Date** This act, including the provisions for taxation on Super PAC contributions, shall take effect on the first day of the fiscal year following its enactment. **Section 8: Severability** If any provision of this act is held to be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, such determination shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of the act. **Section 9: Enactment** This act shall be cited as the Government Representatives Minimum Wage and Super PAC Taxation Act and shall be enforced accordingly. --- This bill combines the provisions for establishing a minimum wage requirement for government representatives with the new provisions for taxation on contributions received from Super PACs.
