Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness, bitter for sweet
So when did Congress take over the paying of themselves?
After they killed off Lincoln maybehttps://www.senate.gov/about/chronology/1789-1820/senate-salary-1816.htm
Arba,
Wow, very interesting how the people's servants originally were paid as servants!
Congress must have raised their own salaries almost every year to get to the point of what they make now.
But their wealth comes from insider trading, payoffs from lobbyists, bribes and crimes, such as drug and human trafficking.
Sickening how they elevated themselves from being the people's servants to being the country's elitists.
