McCain Made More Than Median Family By Not Showing Up For Work

Thanks to pro-corporate and anti-working class policies, the median income for today's American family is under $50,000. Most people work hard for that money, putting in well over 40 hours a week and then some. However, if you are John McCain, with gobs of money from his wife's beer fortune, pulling in more than $50 grand is a breeze, especially since he didn't show up for work since totaling that number.

From DailyKos:

• $51,345.08 - Senate salary John McCain has 'earned' since he last showed up in the Senate to perform his job on April 9, 2008.
• $48,201.00 - The median household income in the US in 2006.

So do you want to tell me how exactly that makes him in touch with the average American? He has collected that money from the taxpayers in less than four months yet didn't even bother showing up to vote on anything in the Senate. Though you never know, he may try to lie about this in the same way he tells whoppers about other things.
