“I think the American people should know the members of Congress are underpaid,” Moran, D-Va., told CQ Roll Call. “I understand that it’s widely felt they under perform, but the fact is that this is the board of directors for the largest economic entity in the world.”
Go fuck yourself and die.

Politician is not and was never meant to be a profession in our system. It was designed to be something that the wise elders did once they retired from their life-long professions. Congressmen should be paid little more than enough to maintain a residence in DC and run their offices, and that's it.

“Federal elected office shouldn’t be limited just to those who are financially independent and do not have to give thought to paying out-of-pocket for living expenses while in D.C.,” Moran said in a statement.
Fucking really? You think living expenses are keeping anyone but the financially elite from running for office? Before, you only looked greedy. Now you're greedy and a fucking moron.
