  With government health insurance and holidays
context: Her being in Congress makes me miserable too because it's a daily reminder that there are people who not only think like she does but think she's doing a good enough job to keep voting and support her. Maybe she could quit and go back to sleeping with employees and running businesses into the ground with her family's wealth. >
  
  My main issue with her saying this is that we have a representative who admits her main drive for her job is money >
  
  And that over 6 figures isn't enough to live properly while fighting to keep minimum wage as low as humanly possible >
  
  Not just six figures. $175,000.
  That’s almost double what most people think as “6 figures” >
  
  I’m definitely not going to cry for them 🤣 >
  
  I have no pity for her at all! >
  
  Sure her salary is lower but how much has she made from ~~bribes~~ donations and insider trading? >
  
  Exactly. This is her soliciting more. >
  
  "Hey corrupt corporate interests, if you want to keep relying on my vote, you need to up your bribes." >
  
  Her working in Congress has made millions of people miserable. >
  
  My suspicion is that she appears to have been a really miserable person long before her stint in Congress.   Politics has just spotlighted it more >
  
  Agree.  Hateful people are usually miserable. >
  
  That’s what the GOP stands for. >
  
  Grizzled Ol’ Poot >
  
  “Grizzled” implies some experience of hardship which I suspect few right wing politicians actually have. Try grasping, grimy, grumbling, griping, grubbing, grumpy, groveling, G- words that reflect small minded, soft handed children of wealth and privilege further enriching themselves at the cost of people who earn their livings. >

  "Grifting" works well... >
  
  Grim, ghoulish, gunky, gelatinous, gravy-stained, gag-inducing, goofball-popping, gerbil-shoving. >
  
  She should feel fortunate that she isn't being paid what she is actually worth >
  
  Can you be paid negative dollars? >
  
  Well MTG has accrued about $100k in congressional fines over her tenure, and congressional salary is about $174k, so she’s certainly not making the money she used to. She sold her CrossFit gym and the divorce is probably fucking her out of money too. >
  
  That definitely sounds like negative dollars to me as long as she has actually paid all the fines. >
  
  ...it could be more negative.. >
  
  I wonder how her army of (nearly) unpaid interns feel about that. >
  
  Any Angry Marge HJ is worth it's weight in Gold. >
  
  Hear me out... >
  
  I hear that Fox pays more.  Go work for them.  You’re sure not working for us. >
  
  But just being a blonde conservative woman isn't enough for their viewers; she'd have to be at least somewhat pretty too. >
  
  She’s got a face for Fox News Radio >
  
  Don't let the door hit you in the ass when you leave >
  
  She should pull a Sarah Palin and just quit. >
  
  Honestly, that’s what I hope happens here.  These MAGA republicans were told that the system was broken and that only MAGA politicians could fix it for them.  The issue is is that their rhetoric is much better as victims rather than actual leading.  
  These people were expecting they that it would all be east.  MTG is finding out there it’s not that easy.    She’s finding out congress and making laws is actually really hard and near impossible in this day and age.  
  This is what I hope happens moving forward.  People become disillusioned with the MAGA movement.  Trump did not make America better.  The Republican led house will not solve americas problems.  After the 2010s and trump, people learned that being fiscally conservative is a joke because there’s literally nothing remaining to cut and that the deficit is purely driven by conservative tax cuts.  
  Just like the rest of boomers, they are expecting things to be as easy as they were for them 60 years ago.  It’s a harsh reality they are facing. >
  
  conservatives will simply abandon democracy >
  
  That ship has sailed. A LONG time ago. >
  
  Conservatives have simply abandoned democracy >
  
  Yep. One might argue democracy has never been a priority for them. >
  
  I wish I had a congress members salary. >
  
  The audacity of complaining about a congressman’s salary when the medium household income in your district is 51,000. 
  She’s making 175000 a year and crying she used to make more, boohoo.
