They should earn the same wage as our military...only fair! Congressman @ E3 and the senate @ E5. Oh, staffers at E2 with the same benefits.

Jim Moron, nuff said.
poor under-appreciated guy...
...it must suck, having to collect that six-figure salary with lifetime benefits and a PILE of legal perks thats would get anyone NOT in government thrown in jail.
...you know, like Martha Stewart going to jail for the same type of insider trading that is legal for congressmen to engage in.
Lets move them into a BEQ and have them share a bathroom with another party member. That might get them to start to talk a little bit.
They already get a shitload of perks going back and forth between DC and their homes. Have them eat at the Mess Hall across the river and have roll calls when they get on the bus to go to work. They need to punch a timecard like the rest of us also. If you are not at work you are on AL.
If they want to live off base then they need constituent permission and it is on their own dime.

Apparently he is retiring. I'm guessing he is no longer afraid to say what he really thinks. http://http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/virginia-politics/jim-moran-will-retire-at-the-end-of-the-year/2014/01/15/9d1b8ace-7dea-11e3-95c6-0a7aa80874bc_story.html
Unfortunately I suspect his sentiments are held by others who are not retiring. According to PoliticFact.com http://http://www.politifact.com/rhode-island/statements/2013/dec/02/facebook-posts/facebook-group-says-congress-has-raised-minimum-wa/ Congress has raised their own salaries 15 times since 1988. Primarily as the result of automatic pay increases that result from: a law that Congress passed.
Evidence here in a November 4, 2013 report from the Congressional Research Service, the nonpartisan think tank for Congress, which tracked pay going back to 1789: http://http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/97-1011.pdf
This guy is a moron, unlikely he will not get elected. Americans don't care IMO. Most are clueless.

When the average dog catcher in California makes in excess of $600,000.00 per year of course a California politician would feel underpaid.
You should be really angry Jim!!!
California county administrator to get $423,644 a year -- after retirement (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/03/26/alameda-county-administrator-to-get-423644-year-after-retirement/#)

Agreed. There are plenty of good people who'd love to have his job for a lot less pay. Reminds me of Jesse Jackson Jr. (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/08/15/Convicted-Jackson-Jr-disability)
Meanwhile, Leland Yee "has since been suspended with pay"...

Representative Jim Moran's efforts to get more money for his fellow congressional members is over, but not before Moran got an earful from some taxpayers.
This I like. :D

Just goes to show some folks don't know good satire when they read it.
A few here get tripped up now and then over a satire piece.
