Their salaries and benefits working in Congress and the state legislature make them overpaid for the amount of work they actually do. I have no problem with people who work hard and make good money in the private industries. They deserve that.

He actually saw his net worth slip slightly in 2013, by about $140,000, from the prior year. “The decline in my net worth is forcing me to make economies,” Gaetz quipped in an email response. “I’m afraid I will have to cancel some newspaper subscriptions.” Joking or not how far out of touch do you have to be to make a public email comment like that?

I know Mike Hil and nobody ever gave him anything. He worked for what he has just as most wealthy people do. The couple I work for are wealthy and the same applies to them. Don't think many people work for poor people. Jane- I believe their ‘wealth’ came from investments and hard work. I know Mike Hil and nobody ever gave him anything.
