Dem Congressman James Moran Says $174,000 Not Enough
Are you fucking shitting me. This asshat actually thinks he doesn’t make enough? Guess it’s tough to live on $3300 a week.
Congress works about 4 months per year if you compare it with the normal 40 hour work week of us worker drones, they don’t get anything done substantially but argue with the opposing party, fund raise for their next re-election, enjoy lavish dinners with CEO’s and lobbyist, and generally suck up taxpayer funds for whatever pork they can get away with. And if you count the benefits, staff, and housing paid for by their respective states, they want for nothing. Yet this man wants a raise.
“I think the American people should know that the members of Congress are underpaid,” Moran told CQ Roll Call. “I understand that it’s widely felt that they under perform, but the fact is that this is the board of directors for the largest economic entity in the world.” more here if you can stomach it
That statement alone should tell you all you need to know. The arrogance of an individual thinking government is the CEO over the economy, hell they can’t run a lemon aid stand let alone the country.
