If you take their $174,000 and divide it by 365 days you'll come up with $476.71 per day! Half the time they don't come to work and they are still making $476.71 to play hooky and line their greedy pockets with taxpayer money! This doesn't even scratch the surface of Special interest groups paying them to vote a certain way! My suggestion is for them to get paid only for the days they show up to legislate. If in their district working for the taxpayer they need to log in and out of their office to get paid! No more special medical benefits either off the taxpayer! They should have to pay for medical insurance the same way we have to in the real world!
