Not surprised, DemocRATs move to vote themselves a raise

[Jmac00]

Thats right, the DO NOTHING demonRATs want to give themselves a raise, for essentially doing nothing

House Dems move to give lawmakers a pay increase

Please, oh please help me to enrich ye who cant stop breaking shit off in my ass. It's my greatest secret pleasure.

There needs to be a referendum on shit like this! It should be the people who vote to give them a raise, not them!

Congress works for the people, the people should decide if they are entitled to a pay increase.

So people who make MILLIONS per year (of questionable legality) are upset because their "stipend" is too low?
Does $4500 per year really mean that much to them, or is it a test to see if the People of the United States will care about being taken for more of their tax dollars while being unrepresented in our own Government?

 

[Mr. terzmo]

Doesn't it go through the Senate and then Presidential approval ?? If so....DOA

Every member of every governmental branch should make the average of those they represent. If they want a raise bring in business and better jobs to that area so I get a raise first. Then the next year the average is redone and they get a raise based on the raises of their constituents. Sounds fair to me. $174,000 is 3 times what I make so they should be able to afford two house. It’s also $50,000 above what my wife and I make together.

Exactly. They're accountable to the people. The people should decide their fate (and eventually, will), whether that be pay or otherwise.
