It is not necessarily hypocritical to advocate for changing policies while continuing to benefit from them personally or through your constituents.
Some of us think the mortgage deduction has been a real problem in distorting the real estate market and should be reduced or eliminated. Yet I suspect pretty much all of us continue to take advantage of it while it is still in effect.
If old enough, most of us probably accept our social security checks despite having spent decades advocating for reform of the program.
I have read posts where freepers decry the bad effect of having senators elected directly rather than by the state legislatures. But they still probably vote directly for the senator of their choice.
But you get my point.
good points. but we are not in a postion to change on influence the policy.
