I'm struggling on my $174K a year job

 Watch Congressman Sean Duffy of Wisconsin say that he is struggling to get by on $174,000 a year salary. He says so after he voices support for what Governor Scott Walker is doing to unionized public workers in Wisconsin who, on average, make 1/3 of his current salary.  Of course as a public worker himself, who certainly understands the evils of a federal budget deficit, even in these extreme economic times, he refuses to say he would be willing to take a pay cut. You see, he’s struggling and that’s not fair. 

  Big man on campus Sean Duffy defends cuts to modest wage Wisconsin public workers, but whines about his plight on $174K.   Note that the guy who asked the question has a family where both he and his wife work, and when his job in home building was not sufficient (because of a tough economy), he took a job as a bus driver.  Sean Duffy - Wanker!
