Or: Why does he stick it out? One reason is that he's a Dem and Dems as a group, when compared to Republicans as a group, are shameless. But the main reason is very simple:
Weiner has also complained to friends that he wasn’t sure how he would make a living if he were to leave Congress and its $174,000 annual salary. "He’s worried about money and how to pay his bills," said a Democratic insider. "He’s very concerned about that."
$174,000! To do what? Basically to perpetuate a system whose main goal is the protection of its members' own power, privileges, and perquisites. For far too many pols these days government is nothing more than their hustle, a hustle like any other.
Yet another argument for limited government.
When it comes to Weiner's 'sexting' of his love engine, bigger is better. But when it comes to government, bigger is not better. Wise up, liberals.
