if Congressmen vow to do nothing, do they still get paid?

It is appallingly shameful that Republicans in the House and Senate proudly declaim their determination to do absolutely nothing of substance during Obama's last year in office.

So my question is:  do they still get paid? should anyone be paid when they vociferously declare, all over any media that will cover them, that they won't do the work they are elected and paid to do?

Of course not. They should not be paid.
