How and what amount
members of Congress should be paid has always been a debated issue.
America’s Founding
Fathers believed that since congressmen
would typically be well-off anyway, they should serve for free, out of a sense
of duty. Under the Articles
of Confederation, if U.S. congressmen
were paid at all, they were paid by the states they represented. The
state legislatures adjusted their congressmen’s pay and could even suspend it completely if they became dissatisfied
with them.
By the
time the first U.S. Congress under the Constitution convened in 1789, members of both the House and Senate
were paid $6 for each day there were actually in session, which was
then rarely more than five months a year.
Senate Leader Mitch
McConnell (net worth est. $22 million): During his 36 years of public service in Congress, our
auditors calculated that McConnell earned $5.5 million in salary. McConnell’s
salary ranged from $75,100 (1985) to today’s $193,400 – as the second highest paid member of
Congress
trump's massive tax cut -- for the rich

From the 2013to 2017 republicans controlled the House of
Representatives
From 2015 to 2017 the republicans controlled the house and the
senate!
SO!
In 2017 trump and the trump republicans passed their tax relief bill, passed every bill on
‘Mitch McConnell’s desk,
hired their judges and trumps
puppet (William Bear), in charge of the judicial branch of government
while the taxpaying public
and
the Democratic Party squealed from the pain in
our pockets!!!!!
Today while the trump republicans are still in control of the
senate and Mitch McConnell’s desk is
collapsing
from the weight of bill from the house of
representatives,
the taxpaying public and the Democratic Party are still squealed from the lack of concern of
the republicans to their subjects!!!!
Love and blessings from
Creator to You All
