House of Representatives Majority Leader Eric Cantor released the Congressional schedule for 2014 and your elected representatives will only work 113 days next year. According to the Huffington Post, the House worked 126 days this year, but only worked 107 in 2012.
Breaking the numbers down further, members of the House of Representatives will make approximately $1,539.82 per day or, given an eight-hour work day, roughly $192.47 per hour.
These are the same people who refuse to raise the minimum wage; deny the working poor food stamps; end unemployment benefits; have no solutions for our nation problems. Why should they be paid by the taxpayers $192.27 per hour? We the people demand that congress work harder for the people or face salary cuts just like they are proposing for us.
