@jamestalarico.bsky.social explaining that Texas legislature representatives only make $7,200 a year + a per diem when in session. Roughly $400 a month after taxes. Thank you for all you do.

As it should be. Also we need age limits and term limits. That would limit the”lifetime” politicians; people would serve the term and then go home! Bye, bye to the likes of Mitch McConnell etc.

Except it’s not a living wage, so they have to rely on additional income. We have difficulty finding people that can run for this reason. Especially younger people.
