LandoRamone30 Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 So what do you think the average politician takes home after a long hard days work? The president takes home $400,000.00 annually and for good reason he has to manage a whole country; right? Congress earn about $174,000.00. You know writing new laws for you to follow is hard work. Let's also not forget congress is only in session for about 160 days annually. Oh also don't forget they need their pension packages. This is just the elected officials. There are also federal employees you know the bureaucrats belonging to the various agencies. They have to get paid as well. Where does the money come from? Some of it is Tax dollars some of it is created by Federal reserve banking system? We also need this forced arrangement because without government there will be total chaos. https://www.thoughtco.com/salaries-and-benefits-of-congress-members-3322282
