Interesting that McCain still takes a $58,000 pension even though he and his wife are worth over $100 million, and yet he boasts on the campaign trail that he'd make his "well-to-do" cabinet members work without salary.
More of the same.
Would you strip any other veteran of their well-earned pension!?
That is an interesting question.
Should millionaires be able to collect from the government?
Absolutely. Any work they do, they should collect compensation for.
It is McCain who said in a stump speech that he would make his well-to-do cabinet members work without collecting a salary.
So he believes millionaires should not collect from the government, while he still does.
