Lawmakers are greedy pigs.

These fucking assholes have the nerve to grant themselves a cost of living increase yet won't do the same for the people they claim to represent? That's horseshit! The last time the federal minium wage was raised was fucking 1996. It's time to throw the bums out, the whole lot of em'.

House lawmakers take $3,300 pay raise

WASHINGTON — Despite record low approval ratings, House lawmakers Tuesday embraced a $3,300 pay raise that would increase their salaries to $168,500.

The 2 percent cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) would be the seventh straight for members of the House and Senate. Lawmakers easily squelched an attempt by Rep. Jim Matheson, D-Utah, to get a direct vote to block the increase, which is automatically awarded unless lawmakers vote to block it.

In the early days of GOP control of Congress, lawmakers routinely denied themselves the annual COLA.

This pretty shameful, a new low in fact. But dosen't this happen every year? Yes it does. These vermin have actually managed to lock the pay raise into being, such that to prevent it from occuring action would be required. wtf?

A full time minimum wage worker makes just $10,712 per year before taxes.

Yeah, it's not congress that's out of touch here; as they clearly have their self serving priorities in order. It's each and every American that should bear the shame for allowing these louts to continue operating a kleptocracy with no end in sight.
