Admittedly, it's hard to notice things that aren't true. Current salary for Congressmen: $174,000 per year. Current salary of the President: $400,000 per year.

Some politicians are certainly millionaires, and a few even multimillionaires, but they accomplished that through other ventures, not their politician's pay.

You're in for it now, Clod. Be prepared for this, starting with post #40.

Absolutely right. And the amount they make now is nothing compared to the future earnings. I am sure Obama will just give all of his future earnings to the poor in Chicago.
