I recall reading that Kennedy waived almost all his U.S. Senator salary, taking $1 per year as he had when he worked "as an assistant district attorney in Boston, waiving the $5,000 salary and serving instead for $1 a year."

I can't find online if he waived it for all 47 years.

Liberals don't think they have a duty to give their own money to charity. They think they have a duty to give the government's money to charity. Therefore their own contributions are always low, but it's not hypocrisy.
