So yeah! Let's all give them some more money! And tonight your Congressman, Senator, and President will all be eating the finest meals in the nicest residences and drinking the finest wine and champagne while poor people starve and scream for rich people to "pay a little more"  |
Unless they are already independently wealthy the big limousines thing is far from the truth. Capitol Hill food isn't all that impressive unless you're dining in the Senate's member dining room. It's not usual to have roommates to keep costs down when Congress is in session. While there is a lot of money in Congress, it's not at all what you are imagining.
