In an April 10 town hall, Mullin engaged in another difficult meeting. His constituents repeatedly told him that he worked for them as a public servant but Mullin believes it is a service he provides to the constituents.
“One, you say you pay for me to do this, that’s bull crap, I pay for myself to do this,” Mullin claimed. “This is a service.”

I think it's about time someone taught him how the tax system works, and also how the unemployment situation is in his district by giving him some first-hand experience.
This is what you get when the only people who can afford to hold office are millionaires. Who have no idea how this whole thing is supposed to work.
