Our tax dollars go to the salaries of these people, who are supposed to be earning that salary by representing their constituents. Imagine if you had an employee that was absent 20% of the time. You’d fire them, wouldn’t you?

Do you want these people representing you? If you would like to further explore the complete list, it can be found on the Washington Post web site,here.
