Income equality

Dan Miller recommends for consideration by Congress the following proposal:
The average annual individual wage of citizens and others resident lawfully or otherwise in the United States, but exclusive of Government employees, shall be calculated on an annual basis. The average such individual wage so calculated shall be the compensation paid to members of both houses of the Congress during the following year.

What would be the benefit of such legislation?
it might put just a little pressure on our honorable members to tread more cautiously than usual in any efforts to strangle the economy further with income equality legislation for everyone except themselves.
