A Congressman's Complaint? Uh, really??

Rep Jim Moran  (D-VA) is proving himself to be one of the biggest morons in the House of Representatives. Presently, he and his colleagues make a mere $174,000 a year plus benefits, including free health care, unlimited free access to the Capitol gym, a lifetime pension equal to his salary and so much more.
Yet he claims he is underpaid.
Washington DC allegedly has the highest average income of any major metro area in the United States at $84,000, and he makes twice that.  The average of the remainder of all the rest of us is $50,000. Per year. 
Is he really kidding or is he serious?
In a recent MSNBC.com piece, he was complaining extensively how tough it is for him. Really? Hey, Congressman, how about living like the rest of us, you know, paycheck to paycheck, just struggling to get by?

At least you are doing the right thing, Congressman. You have announced you are retiring at the end of the year. Could you do the rest of us a favor? Maybe take some of your complaining colleagues with you? Thanks for that.
Trust me, sir. You are getting no sympathy from the rest of us. One thing you can do before you go. Please stand up like a man and admit you did not earn your salary because you allowed President Obama to essentially shred the Constitution in the middle of the day, of every day for over five years, and you or many of your colleagues didn't raise your hand or voice to stop him. 
Then, as you take your pension check for the same amount as your salary, which does not happen for any other person in America, you can look yourself in the mirror and say that you finally did something to earn your keep. 
Otherwise, just know instead that you owe us all an apology for your incapable, lazy work ethic. Your primary responsibility is to uphold the ENTIRE Constitution and you failed. 
Just be quiet, say not another word and go away. Forever.
