No I think you are missing the point. He is under no obligation, moral or otherwise, to show up for work.
He's not a good person if he shows up. No one shows up to work out of the goodness of their heart, that is a ridiculous premise.
Do you take vacation at your job? If the answer is yes then you are no better than this guy. You should be showing up out of the goodness of your heart, otherwise you'd make a bad senator too. Do you pay 80% in income tax to be good? Or do you pay the absolute minimum that you have to within the parameters of our income tax laws? Unless you're an idiot, you pay the minimum.

Again, showing up to work does not make you a good person. I'm sure there are plenty of senators who show up to work and still do a ####ty job.
According to both of you I can show up for work and be a terrible employee and it somehow makes me some sort of pseudo-saint.
His employers have said it doesn't matter if he shows up to work or not. But now he's a piece of crap just because he's operating within the parameters of the conditions of his employment?
I'm all for senate reform but let's not pretend that it is this senator's fault. He isn't the first and won't be the last.
