Carlos Gimenez has spent 50 years getting rich off the taxpayer's dime. Last year alone he collected over $225,000 from two government pensions on top of his $174,000 congressional salary, with a third pension waiting when he leaves Congress. As Miami-Dade mayor he collected a six-figure fire pension while pushing to cut fire trucks and close libraries, then gave himself a 67% raise to boost his pension even higher. In Congress, he voted to slash food assistance for struggling families while securing millions for a wealthy donor who displaced thousands of residents.
