    What is this supposed to do exactly? Hurt only the senators that aren’t independently wealthy / doing insider trading?

    We’re supposed to pretend most of them are there for the paycheck and not the power?

      Yeah, this sounds like a better idea than it may actually be.

      I’m also no really appreciating the president that they’ll get paid when they do what we want.

      There’s a fine point hidden in there that I don’t Love.

      Any senator not taking bribes, or insider trade, or already wealthy, are now financially stressed during a shutdown. More war on the working class by the wealthy. If you haven’t noticed, the wealthy are driving changes they’ve long desired while they can.
