REDUCE HOUSE & SENATE PAY AND BENEFITS CLOSER TO WHAT THE AVERAGE AMERICAN HOUSEHOLD EARNS.

Created by D.W. on December 27, 2012

The House and Senate members earn approx. $175,000/year, with generous benefits. The average American family earns approx. $50,000/yr and pays huge health premiums. They don't work anywhere near 52 weeks per year and raise there own pay. Why hasn't the national news brought this outrage to the forefront. It seems they are OVERPAID for UNDERPERFORMING. How can they even consider voting on anything health related, especially cutting benefits, when they have full blown health benefits for life in most cases.
