Too good not to share....

Was just listening to a Dem Rep rail at the new Republicans and saying how out of touch they were with the average American. Why some of them are Millionaires! And for those that aren't, their median yearly earnings are $140,000 - hardly in the same word as your average American!

Guess what the yearly salary of a Congressional rep is?
Guess what HIS yearly salary is?

This makes it funnier....

Effective January, 2010, it's $170,000

Not only doesn't he know how much he makes, but POT, KETTLE, BLACK!

:D

lulz :)

In all fairness, if I could vote myself a raise whenever I wanted... I would value my piddling around at ... at least... $250k $1million/year... plus expenses and a fine retirement program along with unlimited health care package... I wouldn't care what it costs ... I'm worth it!
