this is something i don t think people understand. when they hear republicans attack you guys, the texas democrats as absconding from work, being a state legislator in texas is not like being a member of the u.s. congress where you make $170,000 a year. i just want you to talk about the sacrifice you re making, and just give this factoid to the viewers watching. the annual salary for a texas legislator such as yourself is $7,200. you receive a daily stipend of $221 each day you re in session. this is not a job you do to get rich, is it, representative wu? no, not at all. most of the times when i tell people what our actual salary is, they spit their drink out. and they cannot believe that the people that are paid to be their elected representative and govern the state are basically, they qualify for welfare.
