Dems excoriate Rep. Sean Duffy for ‘struggle’ on Congressional salary

[Bravo Zulu]

Outrage on the left this week was sparked by reports Duffy had complained at a town hall meeting that he has to "drive a used minivan," pays too much for health care, has "more debt than all of you" and struggles to pay his bills--all on $174,000 a year.

A constituent pointed out that $174,000 is three times his own salary.

2. Poor baby

3. Seems like he's a real whiner, something

the Rs appear to label anyone in the lower income bracket as regularly.

4. If this Republicon is whining about the cost of health care

why don't he just shut up, stop supporting the RepubliCorp Medical Profits Lobby, and vote for Single Payer like a decent American?

Hello?

Get a clue, you Republicon, you. You are supposed to be an American first, before you are a corporate puppet...

5. He could be bought out easy.

These are the most susceptible politicians. This politician displays the greed and need for more money that the lobbyists will thrive on. He could be bought out easy and justify it by believing that we aren't paying him enough. I agree he needs to go.

6. And yet he wants us to pay the taxes rather than the uber rich.

7. I did not know Yahoo was 'liberal'...or maybe just REAL folks?

have you seen the comments?
