THE MEMBERS OF THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES GET ALLOWANCES BETWEEN $1,300,000 AND $1,900,000 A YEAR TO COVER OTHER OFFICIAL COSTS. THESE COSTS CONSIST OF SALARIES, OFFICE AND TRAVEL EXPENSES. SENATORS RECEIVE BETWEEN $2,300,000 AND $3,700,000. THE DETAILS OF THESE EXPENSES ARE NEVER REVEALED. THEY ARE NOT SUBJECT TO FREEDOM OF INFORMATION (FOI) REQUIREMENTS AND THEREFORE THE RECEIPTS FOR THEM ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION.

THE PERKS DO NOT STOP THERE, THOSE TAXEATERS ON CAPITOL HILL HAVE FREE ACCESS TO GYMS, FREE FURNITURE ETC. AND THEY CAN PUT ON THE TAB $40,000 TO FURNISH THEIR OFFICE. WE ASK THE TAXPAYER? HOW MUCH DID YOU SPEND TO FURNITURE YOUR OFFICE?  AND DON'T FORGET THOSE FREE TRIPS. YES, THESE TAXEATERS VACATIONING ON YOUR TAB HAVE SEEN THE WORLD. THEY CALL THESE TRIPS EDUCATIONAL ENDEAVORS, FACT FINDING MISSIONS. AND GUESS WHAT THESE TAXEATERS TAKE THEIR FAMILIES ON THE VOYAGE FOR FREE.  YOU ON THE OTHER HAND HAVE SEEN A MIRAGE IN YOUR BACKYARD, YOUR TRIP TO THE BEACH WAS A TWO WEEK STAYCATION. 

BY THE WAY CONGRESSIONAL MEMBERS RECEIVE $174,000 PER YEAR.  PITY THEM AND THEIR MEAGER REMUNERATION.  AND DON'T FORGET ABOUT THEIR SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS AND BOOK DEALS WHICH ADD MILLIONS TO THEIR COFFERS. .
