Good! I’ve always said if Congress had to live as we do, things would change. That goes for their salary, their huge number of vacation days, the perks, the retirement, free college in any university for their entire families and their healthcare just to mention a handful.
Congress has effectively unconstitutionally established itself as a privileged / protected class imo, the Founding States making the Constitution’s Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 to prohibit the feds from doing such things.
"Article I, Section 9, Clause 8: No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States [emphasis added]: And no person holding any office or profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state."
The smart crooks long ago figured out that getting themselves elected to federal office to make unconstitutional tax laws to fill their pockets is a much easier way to make a living than robbing banks.
