Most of the people on the news shows are talking about how Obaba is leading the race because of his clear voice abd being
Articulate about his point of view, Now I'm not sure but I think he is like a recording< He keeps repeating his talking points over and over. Let me explain what I saw and something on what he said. He repeated the fact that the young people need help in going to collage, I have a question, If there are no jobs to be had by taxing the small business out of hiring, What good are these collage people do with their degrees? People are walking through this Election with blinders on and all they can see is Obama sending them money in the mail. Talk the Blinders off people, look at what Obama is going to do. Every check that will be sent to people will have to be paid for by taxes on items just like Clinton did. Yes, you will get $2000.00 in the mail, But it will be a one time thing, then he will add taxes on things you buy and need to live. A new Gas tax because he want to faze out oil from our Country. Yes, we do need to find other ways to power our Country, But if you slap a new tax on gas we will be in putting people out of work then because they can't afford to put gas in their cars to go to and from work. This is because the jobs will not be close enough to take a bus, And there are a lot more City's in America that do not have a Subway or Bus Line to carry the people to their jobs in another town. These people in Washington have no idea what its like to live in the Suburbs 20 mile or more away from their jobs, And for these people to move closer will cut their paychecks by about $300.00 a month in rent on an apartment. You have to live here to understand what it take ti live, I do and I tell you straight with the fact, Yes I could move closer to Savannah, But if I did, I would pay about $400.00 more a month to rent than I do here where I live now, And even then, you will have move bills added that I do not have here. Why is it so easy to for these Politicians to say they understand when they really have no idea what we go through? McCaine is a good man for the job in my mind because he knows that the United States is still in danger from these Foolish people who think their God is the right God, We all have one God, yes there are many names God is know by, But no matter how you say the name of God, He or She (PC) would not want anyone to kill anyone in His or Her name. I may be called stupid for saying this, But if I were to running for President, I would run on the platform of stopping the Government from being paid as much as they are. Look at this fact, 75% or more families live on less than $60,000.00 a year, Now lets look at what the politicians make a year to work only about 170 days a year,
The current salary for Members of Congress is $143,100. A small number of leadership positions, like Speaker of the House, receive a somewhat higher salary.
Members of Congress are covered by the same retirement plans as other federal employees, the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) for those hired, or elected, before 1984, and the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) for those whose service began in 1984 or later. There are some differences in retirement age eligibility, years of service required, and contributions.
As of October 1, 1999 the average annual pension for former Members under the CSRS plan was $ 51,660; for those under the FERS plan, $ 46,572.
President ................................................ $400,000
Vice President ........................................ $212,100
Senate Pro Tempore.................................$183,500
Senate Majority & Minority Leaders ........$183,500
Majority and Minority Whips....................$183,500
House / Senate Members & Delegates......$165,200
Chief Justice, Supreme Court .................. $212,100
Associate Justices, Supreme Court .......... $203,000
There are 535 members in congress. There are a 100 senators and 435 representatives.
$124,398 average salary earned by U.S. governors in 2007 $206,500 in California, though the governor doesn't accept it, and the smallest at $70,000 in Maine,
That is around $13,426,846.00 a year we pay these people to do almost nothing but moan and complain about how one side is wrong about what ever, and then take vacations about every 4 week or so. If I were to work like these people work I would be fired and I sure wouldn't be paid the average salary of $124,398.00 a year! These people have no idea what it take live the life of an American Family making less than $60,000.00 a year. Its time to cut their pay in half because they don't need that much and they sure don't do the job to be paid that much, And if you were to ask every person in the United States of America if this would be the right thing to do, it would fall around 90% saying yes, 5% no, And 5% asking they get paid How much?
The Country is going to hell in a hand bag because of all the over spending on things we don't need, and under spending on the things we do need. WAKE UP PEOPLE. Stop the foolishness before it's to late.
Lets tell these fools in Washington that WD40 works really good on those stuck on stupid buttons!
WAKE UP!!!!
