In particular, congress shouldn't be paid.
- Amadou 13y ago> In particular, congress shouldn't be paid. The problem isn't that congress is being paid, it is that so much of congress does not need to be paid because they are independently wealthy. Excluding non-revenue generating property like cars, houses, artwork, etc - nearly half are millionaires. Their circumstances find them disconnected from the reality of the majority of this country's citizens. https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2011/11/congress-enjoys-robust-financial-status.html https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2011/11/congress-enjoys-rob...
