.....so make them live in section 8 housing
Tell them I'm only paying for them to eat bugs, and my pronouns are Your Highness and Sire.
Everyone of these should not get a salary to begin with: you choose to be in politics like in Religion.
Eh, I'm ok that they get a salary. George Washington took a salary, not because he needed it, but because if he set the precedent where the president did not receive a salary, only the independently wealthy could be president.
The salary for members of Congress allows regular folks to actually take that job.
And 200 years later, only the independently wealthy can be president
That's for reasons other than the existence of the salary. Without the salary, it would be harder for a regular man to become president.
And only people who are wealthy, or backed by wealthy people, can be Representatives and Senators.
I recall a President would give his salary away ever time he got a check.
The best presidents always do 😉
The party that promotes them should pay them, not the People.
The first thing I think is that we should definitely pay them, as they are dependent on us being taxed for their salary. What went wrong, they (mostly all of them) believe it is their money and not ours that they are paying themselves with. When this happened, it seemed like Katy bar the door, everything went out the window, like making their salary small so they would go back to their day jobs after a stint as a politician (working for all Americans, and making things better, not worse). So now this doesn't happen. With the Lobbyists paying them big, big, dollars it is even worse for us, we can't make them do anything good for America and this is a shame. We used to be able to tighten the screws on them, but now we don't matter because the Cabal has shown them how to steal elections--they don't need, nor do they want--us.
Govt jobs should not be a path to riches but almost a min wage service to country type deal.
True, but the riches come not from the salary but the corruption. Our forefathers had it correct when they said power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely! We have seen it happening over time and now find ourselves in quite a pickle.
Your salary should be tied directly with the average salary of the area you represent. Including having to take pay cuts when the areas average goes down
Kinda agree, but then only the wealthy could afford to be policians. Bad enough when to be President one needs a Super PAC
Why should a monk have his community finance his endeavor but not a non-religious?
Wait, so what's this guy referring to?
Did they just vote themselves MORE benefits / pay increases / etc?????
What is the exact bill / mechanism they used to do this??
🤬🤬🤬🤬
I’d also love a source for this, (a) to verify it’s true, and (b) to learn what mechanism they’re using to give themselves amenities and steal more of our money.
Just like how the "Big Guy" kept getting 10% for 47 years
If politicians get paid it should be based on performance, like... how they GREW the economy --- not destroyed it!!
Disgusting.
Pathetic. Most of them do exactly nothing. Plus, many days off. They have their own retirement plan, too. No social security for them. What a sinkhole DC has become.
Don't forget not having to shell out for Fuckbamacare, because they made themselves exempt from it. They get the BEST health insurance instead, for free.
Basically these pigs get a silver trough to slop from, loaded up with our sweat and blood and hatred for them.
Never forget that they were exempt from the covid shots too.
Those exemptions should have been red flags for everyone.
If they are exempt, why am I mandated? Why is my employer demanding it?
That was fishy as all get out.
Never
This is bullllllllllllllshut
They want people to see this and complain about it. Then, they can respond by offering the perfect solution: Full blown communism, the government will take care of everything, don't worry!
Parasites. They are the very definition of it.
Ah yes, the return of the ruling class 👎
If politicians were paid based on approval rating, most would be paying in to be politicians.
I'm fine if it meant they were living in shared accommodations sleeping on cots and eating from a mess hall.
I say we kick out the United Nations and turn their building into low income housing for our politicians. Where they will be monitored 24/7.
Make them live in HUD housing. On food stamps. And Medicaid.
It'd be different if they actually represented us, supported the Constitution and did a good job. The joke's on us.
It parallels lazy 30-something children still living at home. Throw them out of the house!
It turns my stomach to pay the bills for millionaire crooks.
AOC went from not being able to afford rent to a net worth in millions.
Now we have to pay her rent and food, too?
taxation needs to be voluntary. imagine if it were, the government would have to actually be good so that people would love them and be happy to donate.
imagine, the government working hard to make it's citizens be wealthy, joyous, and kind people so that they donate more. instead the government now works to make people stupid, divided, and poor so that they're easy to control and abuse.
besides, taxation by force is theft in every sense of the word. i would happily donate to our government if they were good, as I do donate to many people and organizations which are good
No public servant should ever draw a salary. Service should be voluntary. In fact, now that we're all connected, we no longer have the need for representation. Fire all of them. Clean out DC. Abolish all alphabet agencies. We can take care of ourselves. Your thoughts?
Zero salary or minimum wage w free housing, food and travel… then maybe that we won’t have any homelessness
Dear congress, leave.
Politicians shouldn’t be paid. Housing should be provided for them while in DC, but it should be prison-like barracks. Food should also be provided, but the absolute bare minimum slop. Politicians should be treated like the subhuman trash they are.
Not even the most egregious thing that shouldn't be happening. Not even close, but yeah.
HEP. Hang Every Politician
