The "RAISE" you are rto is called the COLA, "Cost of Living Allowance" , which rate is set by law. All Government employees, Active Duty, Reservists, Retirees, Veterans receiving pensions/compensation, and Legislators, etc., get the same percentage of base pay increases when the rate kicks in. That's automatic and what the Congress (that's who you are referring to) voted to forego, but had to pass a law to do so.
Do you see any Dominican Legislators doing that?
Your comment is in bad taste on the subject.
