No raises for congress!

So the critters want more pay.

$170k per year, with insurance. No wonder they think the U.S. is doing so well.

As I read one comment in a forum say, Congress should lose their insurance until all American's have there own.
I'd like to take that a bit further. They should also link their pay to Wal-Mart employee pay (not management the stockers, cashiers, etc). Maybe then we can get some fairness in pay legislation. As it stands we are all economic slaves (unless we happen to be the business owner...).

In other news Warren Buffet today released a statement against the tax gap in this nation. To make his point he used himself and his receptionist as examples. He made $46 Million in taxable income and paid 17.7% while she paid 30%. The American Dream baby! Slavery without buying slaves, feeding, or supporting them. AND a perpetual system to keep it that way.

Hums to self....Amazing Grace how sweet the sound to save a wretch like me.....oh...sorry masta.
