        @WSJ This is disingenuous. House members all have a salary of $174,000 -- by virtue of having the job alone their salary is >$100,000.

        @smkreuzer @WSJ It's not disingenuous to point out that House members make 3 x as much as the average citizen. That's kind of the point.

        @NWInfidel Sure, they do after they get the job. But if you read the tweet to say that they represent a different group before, then it is.

        @smkreuzer They don't represent anyone before they get the job. Tweet simply compares Congress member stats to those they represent. No?

        @radbcc @WSJ Unless you're trying to show that House members are much wealthier than most citizens. Then they're quite meaningful.

        @WSJ Congressional income is a fair wage, in theory, if they did what the job requires. Constituents should demand higher pay. #FreeMarket
