    Last I checked (just now), US representatives make $174K/year. They’re not allowed to keep donations for themselves and I can’t find mention of any additional pay packages.

    Can you show me where this additional $126K is coming from?

      The trick is if you lie enough people won’t check you on it.

      not only $126K, the corrupt ones get millions in undeclared donations and gifts, paid travels and expenses, crypto, endorsmensts and sponsors, interviews …etc…whatever they are all out-of-our-league rich

        That’s great and all but it doesn’t answer my question. Do you have any legitimate sources that show this or is this just anally sourced?

        Edit: the source was their own rectum.

      You realize that having hundreds of thousands of dollars makes you rich, right?
