how much do you get paid not to work?

Here’s an idea to improve democracy:

If a congressperson (the word, as I understand it, includes senators) is found to miss a vote, he or she is immediately kicked out of office.

Combine this with making filibustering unconstitutional, and I think we may be well on our way to an actual representative government.
