The reality is that our gov't is a bunch of crooks, the two party system doesn't work, and these guys are getting paid for life to do a *&^%$# up job.

We need to make some MAJOR changes quick...starting with a pay cut for these losers.

The worst part of this is that it doesn't only happen in the USA, it's common for every country in the world.

I agree. What sickens me is that we continue to perpetuate this image that we are the best and everything is ok, "God bless America."

Damn all that we need to wake up quick and make some major changes starting with getting these crooks out of office.

Public service should not be done by millionaires and billionaires they don't have the proper perspective so it seems.

Yeah, let's vote for Joe Schmoe with a GED and an associates degree in criminal justice from the local community college. Doesn't know a damn thing about economics or politics, but he sure is in touch with the common man!

# of teachers & soldiers = 500,000+ people

# of presidents & senate = <1000 people

Ask yourself. Did I say uneducated? Or did I say (in a roundabout way) that our gov't does not need rich people with ties to fortune 500 companies running our country because it's a conflict of interests that ends up hurting the majority of Americans (and has us where we are now).

Most people who graduate with degrees in economy, history, and/or sociology are not rich.

And what does that mean?

Why would America pay someone for LIFE that has done a terrible job and left the country WORSE than when they started?

No one should get paid for shoddy work and it is obvious that we need to pay teachers and soldiers more in comparison to other public servants like politicians...is it not?

Teachers and soldiers are paid a lot more overall.

500,000 * $40,000 = $20 Billion

1,000 x $200,000 = $200 million

And teachers still need to be paid more. They NEED more money and our elite politicians do not....especially after they have over a period of years, jacked up are economy all to hell.
