Demand more from the Government.
I demand that all governmental officials work for under $50,000 a year. I demand that all government officials go on Obama care. I demand that all government officials live within
our means and not according to
THEIR fantasy
You know, I recently read something somewhere (can't quite remember) that purported to be the confessions of a member of Congress, talking about some of the common myths of how Congress works and why and how our system has become broken. There was alot of good information about just how bad the corruption and obsession with fundraising and the next election is hurting the American people. He also mentioned the fact that members of Congress are now pretty much required to go home each weekend and that the vast majority have careers outside of Congress, and that Congress really is a part time job, and that this was a good thing because it helped to keep members somewhat grounded and connected to constituents.
And then he really took me for a loop when he said that part of the problem was that members of Congress receive such low salaries that it's almost impossible to recruit "fresh" blood. These fuckers are getting paid well over $100,000 a year, which already puts them into a very high percentile,
for an admittedly part time job that does not interfere with most members being able to hold a regular job. And he's bitching about the pay being too low!?! Unbe-*******-leavable.
