So you’re NOT sick of a congress that walks with $160 K a year, not counting their cars, planes, security details, free meals etc no matter HOW MANY TIMES they screw up?

Cut me a break. You sign a contract, you honor the contract. Limiting pay isn’t the answer, writing better contracts is too.

Welcome to FR. In the English language, we do not pluralize with apostrophes except in the case of of indicating ownership by multiple people with a common last name ending in ‘s’, and then it’s placed after the last ‘s’.

On a side note, I suspect [with no evidence, but this is just my guess] that many in Congress have a means of hiding funds in secret, possibly Swiss accounts. The reason I think this is because I can see the lifestyle some of them live, and there is no way 160K per year could support it. 160K per year does not enable one to have kids in expensive private schools, drive expensive cars, take expensive vacations, live in a million-dollar home in expensive neighborhoods [with property taxes alone around 25 thousand a year]; and some of the examples I have seen are not people who were wealthy before they went to Congress.

Where did I say I wasn't? The thread was about CEO's.
