Just how much does Congress get?

Salaries, benefits, retirement, travel perks, medical insurance, protection, etc... no wonder people run for Congress. No one else in the world gets the pension and perks. The amount of tax payer money that goes to 'support' retired Congressmen and women, past presidents, Cabinet heads, etc...

I wish I was to receive 80% of my highest three income years - for life.
Just think our first representatives and senators returned to their own occupations after 'doing their duty for their country' and did not expect their fellow countrymen to support them ... where did we go wrong?

  1. Go, Tea-Party-Hardy, go!!! No one can stop U.S.!!! If the super-wealthy-33 think they have control, they're sadly MissGuided. God bless you and all who stand for what the Revolutionary War was fought against. Live free or DIE. PS See 'peace-de-resistance' first. Thank you. And, as Gandhi once sed, 'Let's kick some ass peacefully' --- The funny thing is, now I’m on BIG, BAD Janet’s list of bloody terrorists even though I’m a head-injured-wetard for speak’n the TRUTH. Most of U.S. are controlled, conformed, walking ‘the Wall’ to our demise: rise above, America. Think summore past the vastly impotent, world government; don’t do the suicidal, whorizontal reality; and please don’t get played like a HAARP. Hope you got something outta this I-candy: Truth Shall Set You Free.
