I don't see how anyone can say they are doing their jobs and should receive a raise.  I just don't get it.  They make anywhere from 174K to 293K per year.   If you look at Wiki, you will see that they all get an expense account that is enormous -- and it covers their personal expenses and allows them to hire 'employees...more
