Oh, the injustice of it all. Wonder why he took the damn job?

(CANVAS STAFF REPORTS) - A congressman from Wisconsin told residents last month that he isn't "living high on the hog" on his $174,000 salary, drawing wrath in a state locked in a dispute about public employee wages and benefits.
Talking Points Memo reported that Rep. Sean Duffy, R-Wis., recently faced a question at a town meeting about whether he would cut his salary. He said he would support cutting compensation for all public employees but hedged, saying it isn't much for his family of seven to live on.
The question, as reported by the Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel , came from a builder who had to start working as a bus driver when construction began drying up. His wife, a schoolteacher, would be taking a pay cut under a new budget plan proposed by Wis. Gov. Scott Walker.
Too funny falcon, another story that doesn't match your post.

I guess it’s all how you define high on the hog! To one man it would be considered that, to another it would bankrupt him.
Personally, I don't think that's living high on the hog at all. I wouldn't do that job for that!
Neither would i. However, this guy talked a good line during his campaign about cutting all kinds of stuff. Now he decides his salary is too small. It's not like the idiot did not know what the salary was before he took the job.
BTW: All of his flights home are paid for by the US taxpayers.

Well if he doesn't like the pay or working conditions, he should quit and look for something better.
I'm not feeling sympathetic.
