[Darth Nubian]

fukk this guy. Didn't he just go on a diatribe about how if people want to be able to afford health insurance then they should stop buying iphones? Now he is complaining about not be being able to afford a mortgage and tuition for his kids. Ol' socialism for me, rugged individualism for thee ass

On top of that these fukks barely even work.



How Many Days Do Members of Congress Work in a Year?

Most of them are independently wealthy. Cmon son. You know this. The rest are career politicians and don't have that sort of wealth.

People like Tillerson and Devos have 9-10 figure net worths. They don't care about the government salaries. Whereas Obama didn't become a millionaire until he became President and was still paying back student loans until his book became a best seller. It's a good thing Michelle was a corporate lawyer so they could manage but, what if Michelle was a stay at home mom and Obama was the only breadwinner?

slight correction, he didn't become a millionaire until he was a senator and got that audacity of hope money (and new royalties on dreams).

Honestly I agree. A lot of this guys Couch surf because they can't afford 2 homes. Less needs less corruption.

Politicians who are corrupt aren't doing it so they can keep the lights on. It's usually just an overpowering sense of entitlement.

How much is the cost of living for a member of Congress in rural North Dakota? Nevada? fukking Arkansas? We gonna give them all 2500/ month when they making a minimum of 174k? 174k in some small New Mexico district probable has people living like Tony Montana. Speaking of Montana, how the fukk does a congressman (or woman) from Montana not make enough to live less than half the year in DC and the other 200+ days in friggin Montana?

Fukk all this BS. Congress takes enough from the backs of hard working American's, and that is without including the legislation that takes other things away from us.

Can't live on 174K salary? Don't run for Congress then.
