The Empathetic Legislator Act:
Every member of Congress must spend one week a year living and working a minimum wage job in the poorest county in their district. If no employment can be secured then member of Congress must perform 60 hours of community service during that week in that community.
“Here again the principle of subsidiarity must be respected: a community of a higher order should not interfere in the internal life of a community of a lower order, depriving the latter of its functions, but rather should support it in case of need and help to coordinate its activity with the activities of the rest of society, always with a view to the common good”
John Paul II
