The key word is relative. Relative to the working class? No. Relative to his peers, the many politicians taking advantage of kickbacks and insider trading? Absolutely.
False equivalence. One is moderately paid and the other should be paid and treated better. Life isn’t a zero sum game and we can work together to make the world better for all.
well none of the politicians, democrats uncluded, have made any real effort to increase disability benefits in the past 2 decades. despite disabled people being homeless en masse
That has nothing to do with Democrats and Republicans. It is human nature. Humans suck but we could improve that with some effort. Most seem uninterested.
Damn if a triple digit income is living relatively modestly I’m the fucking Buddha.
Must say though, the media is doing an ok job of selling me on this pick.
POV: you’re on disability benefits, given 8k per year, and the government/ruling class treats you as if you’re stealing money and lazy
Also the ruling class/govt: Triple digit salary is relatively modest

Isn’t triple digit from $100 to $999? As in composed of numbers made up of three digits. That would be poverty level.
Current congressional and VP salaries are described as “6 figs” or “6 figure salary” as far as I’ve heard.
It’s still good but they generally have to keep two residences: one on their state and one in/near DC. That’s not cheap.
$22,000 a year out of $174,000. It’s not ‘cheap’, but I’d do it in a heartbeat if it meant I got such a payrise.
