Why should we pay the prez and legaslators more. They are already wealthy and have to be to run for office. they get all these perks of pork and findraisers etc. They all are either lawyers, business excs company co's etc. JFK did not take to salary why should others. They get free rent, medical, transporation etc. They should do it for no salary but for the love of their country as they are elected not HIRED, if they were just hired then we could just fire them. IMO
