Democrats say they can't live on $174,000 a year

The Democrat run House hasn't done anything for the American people. Its only actions have been to attack Trump in an attempt to nullify the 2016 election and pass a bill that lets men use women's bathrooms and compete in women's sports.

Yet Democrats feel that they deserve a raise. They just can't get by on their $174,000 a year salaries.

The average salary in America is $47,060 a year for working a 40 hour week.  So even if we ignore that Congressmen don't work 40 hour weeks 50 weeks a year like the average American they still make more than three times as much as the average American worker.

Of course Democrats think that they deserve more than we the people. After all the average Federal worker's total compensation is 79% higher than private sector workers.



Democrats say that that's because government workers are more skilled but that's clearly bogus.  Except for a few areas, such as the FBI, most government workers are bureaucrats and one doesn't need a Ph.D. to shuffle paper.

The Democrats belief that civil "servants" and politicians deserve much more money than the people they supposedly serve is just one more sign that Democrats want to rule we the people not represent us.
