"Senator Rockefeller may be one who gives his salary to charity each year because of his own personal wealth. If that is the case, it is an honorable act that is to be commended. "

What's to be commended about that? If I were able to deduct an extra $150,000 a year from my fellow employees salaries, and then donated it to charity for a writeoff does that make me a philanthropist, or someone who ripped off my fellow employees?
In this case it's the taxpayers who are subsidizing these millionaires.
