He should be accepting his paycheck and donating his trust fund payments.

I would say that not taking a salary is a good thing. He is financially able to do that. John Kennedy did it as well, and he was a democrat.

This is not an us vs them thing.

maybe the parks don't need the extra money

there is a lot of waste in some areas of government

The GAO reports that five federal agencies alone spent $3.1 billion on workers placed on administrative leave in a two-year timespan. A lot of that cash — $775 million, to be exact — went to public employees banned from their desks for more than a month. (“Primarily,” Lankford’s waste book finds, “workers are placed on leave because they are under investigation for misconduct.”)

Hey wasn't it interesting that during the Obama Government shutdown there were plenty of NPS Park Rangers and NPS Officials to quickly shutdown, place barriers, and man them at all of the open air monuments and parks. Heck they even had enough agents to shut down George Washington's home at Mt. Vernon before they were reminded that it does not belong to the NPS.

If you think that's a lot of money just wait until the robots take over and the peons have live on welfare.......
