• Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota is a man of relatively modest means, according to financial disclosures.
  • In fact, he doesn’t own a single stock.
  • Like other members of Congress, Walz even slept in his Capitol Hill office for some time.

    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

      Cute of you to assume that a peasant and member of the club could be compared in such direct way.

      Get back to cucking, pleb.

      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.
