It's a racket and as op suggested there are a ton of Americans who will believe politicians are being generous when in reality they're giving us back a pitance of what they took from us. My number one expense, (reads more than all other expenses combined) is federal and state taxes, it's robbery.
Don't Worry Guys I'm Sure China Gave them more Money to get By while locked Down. I'm Sure they All Got their Share of The BLM 10.6 Billion they raised in 6 months.
Get this. If you are in Congress and you are just in a few days, then have to leave for some reason. Resign, forced out, special election, whatever. You still get a retirement that is equivalent to your entire salary the rest of your life. So, you are essentially working for free because you could just not run again and never need to work. So why do they want to fight to hang on to the position so bad? So they can continue to work? Nah, they want the bribes.
Are lobbyists the legal bribes?
I think they're making more than $130K. I thought it was around $174K. None of them should've gotten anything.
Yeah, 9 months worth of salary for them is about 130k. OP’s math is good.
Ah, yeah, I didn't notice the 9 months part. Not a bad salary for doing nothing except for destroying America.

The tree of Freedom needs watered.
This is bull shit. We don't get paid, neither do they. We want to work. We don't want their bribe.
Defined those bastard's fuck those cock suckers.
They make more than that
Please tell me Bernie and AOC at least declined their salaries in support of the proletariat.
Even if they pulled such a PR stunt, it wouldn't have made them any less evil.

Fucked up if true
$600 of their kid's money
Congress shouldn’t be paid a penny. Not in a Covid year, not in a normal yet, never.
