That's exactly my point.He may have a point. It costs $47 to park a car at a Nationals game and a round trip metro fare to the game is about $9 per person.
That's why I ride my bike there.

They get that kind of cash because of the position they held in public office. They can get elected and keep their job with virtually no skills. Incumbents are usually re-elected--regardless of their record. To complain about salary is asinine. Nevermind the fact that most of the electorate thinks Congress is doing a crappy job.Oh but they aren't executives. They are public servants.
Public servants should work for the median wage?
In public service, like everything else.......you get what you pay for
If you insist on low wages, you will get people commensurate with that wage
If you want good quality executives, you need to pay a competitive wage

No kidding. But for $174 K we get idiots like Grayson and much of the CBC.
In the private sector, they'd be lucky to earn above the poverty level.
They will get paid substantially more when they eventually move to the private sector

The left cries all the time about CEO's make so much more then employees....
Do they feel the same outrage in regard to members of Congress and the Senate making so much more then their staff?
You think you are better than me?Oh but they aren't executives. They are public servants.

Sorry. All those Senators, Congressman and those that work in DC think they are better than everyone else.
They are public servants no matter how grand a title theyhave. Why should we taxpayers pay them more. Hell. Add up all those perks along with retirement and payed HC and they are doing quite well.
They do far better than a lot of people. Me included.
Whenever tax increases are being discussed, $250K is barely middle class.
When public employee pay is being discussed, $250K is way too much.

Most congressmen are rich. They don't need the money.
I would agree, if they actually read the bills they pass, and do something of real benefit to the country.Congressmen and Senators should earn $250K
The President should earn $1 mil
They would still be under paid
I don't think I said that.Whenever tax increases are being discussed, $250K is barely middle class.

Are you suggesting that we determine salary based on need?

Personally I'd rather see a cap on personal wealth for politicians and have all national elections and politicians paid a living wage.
