The Congress. I think I'll vote myself a raise, too. And a promotion. And an executive jet.

The U.S. Senators decide what they get paid. WHAT A DEAL! Now you know why these birds fight so hard to win elections. They also vote themselves a retirement package which is more than adequate. They can retire for life. For doing what?

Congress decides how much their members will get paid. Good deal if you can get it.

The senate gets to set their own wages... and benefits.
Their health plan and retirement plans are some of the best ever thought up by man.

They vote on it themselves. In case you don't, know they have given themselves $30,000 in raises in the last 9 years. You can relate that into minimum wage right?

Unfortunatly, *they* decide how much they make. And then they decide they'd like to make more, so their raise their own salaries.

they keep giving themselves hefty raises. It should be changed but since THEY make the laws they have the power.

amazingly enough, the overpaid, under worked, pompous twits, decide their own pay and benefit packages. And who says communism doesn't work?????
