That's a nice quote, but I don't think it applies here in that way. I don't think any Congressman's salary actually depends on not understanding Facebook's business model.

Facebook doesn't individually contribute much but it did contribute a total of 7 million over 12 years. If they were smarter they would kick in more.

Maybe not their literal salary, but Congress is heavily lobbied and can be incentivized with other perks and benefits to look the other way.
