Reply to comment by 69Jew420 in NY lawmakers vote to raise their own salary by 29% by Unable-Ad3852

Politicians should be paid MINIMUM WAGE as they are supposed to be representing OUR FUCKING INTERESTS.

You can't say you represent your district when you live in a brownstone and have a chauffeur

Who would want the job? The only people who would run would be people who don’t need the salary at all. Look at New Hampshire’s legislature (lowest paid in the country). It’s filled with retirees and wealthy people.

I don’t think having a salary of $160,000 would allow you to have a brownstone and a chauffeur in New York.
