Lately, I decided to make a point to politicians BEGGING FOR MONEY. From me - a person living on Social Security alone. I spent all of my two pensions paying medical bills - even with Medicare and a MediGap. Do NOT get seriously ill in the United States! SO, several senators have been begging for money from me for months! I looked up the current annual salary for US Senators - it's an alarming $174,000. But actually that's just considered in the middle class range.
Just recently I heard from one of my Dem senators, Senator Michael Bennet whining about a Trumpist getting a super PAC of a few million bucks, and asking ME for a donation.
I wrote him back (instead of stewing) and told him I knew how much his Senate salary was, and that he should be embarrassed asking for money for me, who makes $14K/year.
He wrote me back this morning - "I'm opting you out of texts immediately. Have a great day." And I thanked him, told him he was doing a great job AND I was voting for him.
I don't think this is off-topic. Because if my family had been one of those morbidly rich ones, I would be likely "just fine." But I'm NOT! And I hope I started to spread the word to these other politicians! - Alive in Denver
