A poor assemblyman

In Ecuador a legislator say:
"How much does a legislator earn? $4,700, $4,500 (per month). Do you know how much they deduct from us? I receive $3,300, and it's all gone by the first week. And someone will ask me, 'So how does Lucho Almeida make a living?' I have to rush to ask my wife, my mother's inheritance, to be able to cover the plane tickets for the people who accompany me, who are great advisors I have. I can't stop inviting them even for a little rice with beans, some snacks here in Quito," said the assembly member, referring to the tax burden imposed by the Executive."
