    You’re right. The point I was making was that congressional members are like people with minimum wage. Your response is definitely not dodging my argument.

      The point you were making is that congressturds aren’t rich enough and that we should just spam money at them and that will magically make them less corrupt. Bringing up minimum wage workers who haven’t seen a raise in decades in that context is utterly disgusting.
