What can be done to end this and make them answer to the people before they get a raise? If they're not doing their job, they should be fired - just like in the real world.

Senators can be voted out of office every six years. Also, you can write a letter to the editors and to others on the Internet every day of the year to mobilize a grass roots movement.

If they didn't get to vote on the pay raise themselves, then nobody would. I am in the military and get only a fraction of what they get. They vote on my pay and theirs, and their pay raises are always much bigger than mine.
