Republicans in Congress say they never need another raise

They seem all in favor to cut expenses before they will look at generating more income so there really is no reason for them to ask for more money. All they have to do is downsize. Sell that expensive car. Sell that fancy house. Put their kids in public schools(read that corporation schools), cut back on those fancy restaurants.

I salute them for setting the example for the masses.

I am sure they do not work 32 hours per week and hasn't helped their results to provide them with some of the best health insurance available
