Yes, Members of Parliament get a lot of Money .A major part of it comes from Taxes collected from us. They do not work much in Parliament-mostly sloganeering and shouting on trivial issues. However,becoming a Member of Parliament is not easy either. It is all the more difficult for a Honest and Simple person .
