This is a dandy.
Former MTV's Real World house mate turned Republican representative, Sean Duffy, tells a constituent at a town hall meeting that his family is struggling to get by just like everybody else. Congressman Duffy makes a base salary of $174,000. Duffy also has a completely tax-payer funded health care plan that he and his family get to enjoy.
If you can't make it on $174K and government-run health care, just imagine how the millions of families making $40,000 a year with no health insurance are doing.
Being a Member of Congress is many things. Struggling to pay your bills isn't one of them.
