At least with the “progressive” tax laws they’ve passed, they won’t get to keep much of that pay raise.

Yeah, but do we know if they didn't excempt themselves from that?

[William Terrell]

I'm always entertained by these kinds of articles. I have never seen Congress rescend any pay raise ever, regardless of how many such articles circulate.

So, what's the point?

Not sure but I think it was Will Rogers that said if a Squirrel ran up a politicians pants it would come back empty handed.

The 27th Amendment:

“No law, varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives, shall take effect, until an election of Representatives shall have intervened.”

We allow Congress, the Executive and the Courts to ignore most of the rest of the Constitution, so . . .
