All congressmen and judges are crooks out to fleece the public. That's why govt must be small.

dec 24 2022 Legislators in New York passed a bill during a special legislative session Thursday that would give them a 29% pay raise from their current salary of $110,000 to $142,000.
If the bill is signed by New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, it would make New York legislators the highest paid in the country by approximately $23,000, according to CBS News. The next highest-paid legislature is California at $119,000.
“It’s a full time job,” Democratic Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins said, CBS News reported. “Sooner or later in order to be able to afford to do the job, we have to raise pay.”
If the bill is signed by Hochul, New York legislators would only be able to make a maximum of $35,000 from outside income starting in 2025, CBS News reported. This would not include military service, retirement plans, or investments.
