Report: Phil Gingrey gripes $172K salary
[POLITICO] In an argument against a special exemption allowing Hill staffers to buy health insurance, one politician said he's "stuck" making $172,000 a year, while aides will go on to make in big bucks lobbying on K Street, according to a report.

Staffers "may be 33 years old now and not making a lot of money. But in a few years they can just go to K Street...and make $500,000 a year. Meanwhile I'm stuck here making $172,000 a year," Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-Ga.) said on Wednesday, according to the National Review.
We can fix that both for him and for the staffers. Implement the Reynolds tax on the staffers, and vote Gingrey out of office.
The comments, which came in a closed-door meeting of congressional Republicans, angered some of the aides in the room, which led two to relay to the National Review.

Gingrey, who's own net worth the National Review reports, is at least $3 million, is against the special exemption that would allow Hill staffers and politicians to buy their insurance in the exchange markets, while still receiving a government subsidy to do so.
