Because people don't like the idea that they pay the ridiculously huge salaries

You're the only person I've ever heard complaining about the salary of government officials. Nobody gets into public service to get rich.

Consider for a minute that the president, the highest paid public servant makes 400k a year. That sounds like a lot, but most middle class families make at least 1/4 of that, and that a 400k salary for supposedly the most powerful person in the world wouldn't even be in the top 1%. That means there are millions of privite citizens with less responsibilities that are paid much more.

And that's not even considering that that's just the president, and that average Senator is paid closer to 100-150k.

of a bunch of assholes that get to make

Somebody has to do it. Any your legislators are directly accountable to you. So in a roundabout way, it's YOU making the laws.

and break the laws...

When this happens, they get fired and publicly shamed. See Rob Blaggo.

also that most of the time the laws they make don't necessarly effect them like they do the average hard working person, so they don't much give a shit.

But it does, and they do. Them keeping their job depends on it.

They make promises about lower taxes and better health care or whatever else the hot topic of the day is... but they hardly ever make good on them, most of the time they actually go against what they promise.

You have your precious founding fathers to thank for that. Your government is designed to resist change, so actually getting anything done is a long, painful, and difficult process.

Simply put... we pay them, they screw us, and not like a hooker.

Anymore dumb questions?

This is probably a dumb question since I know the answer is no; Do you have a GOOD reason?
