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.
