Congress gives themselves a raise!

Congress voted themselves a pay raise of 4700 without even batting an eye. While everyone else struggles to survive they vote themselves a pay raise. There's something wrong with someone having the ability to give themselves a raise. It's too bad everyone doesn't have the ability to give themselves a raise then we would all be rich. Of course eventually our employers would all be bankrupt and then we would lose our jobs and be broke. That's ok though we can live on welfare and get everything for free.
