2. To be fair...

The averages are indeed telling, but if you look at individual members, you get a different picture.

For instance, my congressman, Iowa democrat Dave Loebsack, voted yes, but only received $26,300.
Another Iowa congressman, democrat Bruce Braley, voted no; he received $58,450.

I don't consider either of these men to be bought and paid for.
