Fairness for Employees? Harkin Questions Huge Pay Gap between Employees and Executives

DID we really here him say he, "feels like it not enough" 3.7 mill a year not enough. Greed is real.

@OliverKoolO In response to his compensation being public record. English comprehension is your friend.

Your turn to respond Mr. Harkin

"On top of that, you complain that there are millions and millions of people with no insurance, yet you have the best insurance plan in America. Mr. Harkin, I don't begrudge you that you make the salary that you do, get the retirement that you get, and have the healthcare plan that you have. I just wonder why there is such a huge gap between all of that and what the middle class makes."

My response to Mr. Harkin would have been, "Please tell me why you can work for 2-4 years as a Congressman and then retire for the rest of your life with a pension bestowed only to Congress.

This means this Lawyer could purchase a couple of vehicles each week.

In 2008 he was making 53,826 per week and then received over a 20,000 dollar raise and in 2009 is making 71,993.21 per week.

Not bad for someone that never has to get his hands dirty.

I'm guessing Union labor is not the reason Military hardware is so expensive.

Thank you for standing up for the middle class Senator Harkin! I am very glad to have you represent my state.
