I don’t really care about their salaries, I just want them to have to follow all the laws that the rest of us have to—no insider trading, must have Obamacare like the rest of us and God only knows what taxes that they impose on us that they are exempt from.

I agree. The last I heard, House members get about $174K. Half of that would be $87K. Kind of hard to attract good people to such a job when you only offer 87K.

BTW, Perry is still free to cut his salary as governor. The governor, who spends most of his time campaigning for president earns about 150K.
