They also work longer hours, are elected, do not have unions to protect their employment status, and on average have achieved a higher level of education. Are you really confused over why a house rep. gets paid more than a teacher?

No I completely understand because our education system is a bunch of bullshit. Too much is taught and learned then re-taught and re-learned in a different mannerism. If teachers were actually educating our children properly and raising intelligences through learning, then they should obviously make more money than most people in america. But alas our government doesn't want the average public to become to educated or smart because this will interfere with their plans. It's so hard to even get into debate about anyways because logically our government representatives should be high paid officials if they were actually representing the public and not themselves. I'd say 90 % of govt officials are corrupt.
