"First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me."

Congressmen Are 'Underpaid,' Can't Afford To 'Live Decently' in DC
Submitted by Melinda L. Secor on Sun, 2014-04-06 00:00
"Members of Congress make more than three times the median income of an American citizen, but one representative believes it’s not enough. Speaking with CQ Roll Call, Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.) said that the $174,000 annual salary lawmakers receive is not adequate enough compensation for their role in the government, to the point that their quality of life in Washington, DC, is affected."
