If you think $400,000 is too low, then why do so many fight so hard for the job. Do not dare to compare government and private corporations. When “conservatives” don’t get the difference, there is not much hope.

This will no doubt raise a lot of hackles on this thread but I think these salaries are entirely too low. When the Chief of Staff of the president the United States makes only $172,000 a year, he is clearly underpaid.

It's not the money, it's the power.

You are forgetting about all the perks that go with that $172,000.

I took a job close to that amount in the private sector and it seemed low. That is until I realized I was getting $900/mo for driving allowance, clothing allowance, and expense account which basically allowed me to eat at restaurants at company expense (so long as I was on road performing company work). Whenever I needed to travel, the company had a department that arranged plane tickets, transportation, hotel reservations and so forth. Basically I didn't have to pay for anything out of pocket Monday through Friday.

So when you add in all those perks, the "modest" salary is much more. Then you have the power of the position as well.

Wonder of any enterprising Republican will be smart enough to take this list and show that women are suffering from pay inequality in the Obeyme White House?
