It's not true that Congresspeeples don't pay into the Social Security fund. They pay into the fund just as most everyone else does.

Prior to 1984, Congress members did not pay into SS because they participated in a special program for civil servants. That program was closed to government employees hired after 1983.

Do you have a source? I would be glad to see that. It is my understanding that they still have a killer pension plan.
