He could be like some previous and current elected officials who don't take a pay check at all because they can afford it.

Paul just like the money he barks about so much and it his bought him a lifestyle.

Hes a loon.

First I see no sourcing for all those numbers you posted. Second, lets assume that all those big, scary numbers are based in reality. Dr.Paul must be a magical vatican assassin reptoid ninja, because for all his "overpriced" staffers, he somehow manages to get elected over and over again, regardless of the ways the powers that be tried to rehash the lines that defined his district, so talented that Democrats refused to run against him... they knew better, yet the NeoCons never learn and blew way more money over the years trying to unseat him... oh and for all those big, scary numbers you placed in this post without so much as one link to one website, somehow Dr. Paul always seems to wave his magic ninja wand of shapeshifting and returned money to his districts treasury... huh... interesting how that happens isn't it?
No Congressional Pension, no golden caddie health care and no paid junkets from lobbyists... Gosh, seems to me like he's not exactly running two fisted from the pot of gold.

FYI, I figured since you didn't source squat I wouldn't either. Maybe that'll give you the opportunity to do a little research as opposed to relying on O'reilly to craft your opinions for you.
