In no other job can you give yourself a raise. That what makes people. Even union workers who get guaranteed contract pay hikes, have had to give a lot of it back to keep their jobs. This doesn't sit well with average folks who would love to be paid better and have to stretch every dollar they have to take care of their expenses and support their families. Our elite has no idea what life is like for most of their constituents.

Sure you can. It's like being on a board, or being the owner of a bussiness.

"In no other job . . ."
There are plenty of jobs where the workers give themselves a raise. Usually they are small businesses, a sole proprietership. Difference there is, they own the business and can do what they please.
Here the congressmen work for us. Vote against any congressman voting him/herself a raise.
