Here's an idea:
Every elected official at the state and federal level should be required to return to their constituencies to do manual labor in the service sector, getting their hands dirty, working the lowest paid jobs in the areas they represent, scrubbing toilets, washing dishes, cleaning floors, etc., rotating through various local, small businesses, at least two weekends or four days every month they hold office.
This is would be mandatory service and they they are to be paid no more than the statutory minimum wage.
The purpose of such practice is to continuously remind our pulblic *servants* that they are "of the people", to remind them that they work for even the lowliest people, to remind them that they were elected "by the people" who are affected by the decisions of these public *servants*.
