I agree with that! Term limits, no lifetime blood suckers like ol' Teddy. Still can't figure out what was so great about the guy. Regular wages. I think they can make some bucks but most of them are loaded from the get go. I'm not thinking us taxpayers need to pay bennies for the jokers until they croak though. Presidents and lifetime bennies? Again, most are loaded anyhow so now they're riding our dime while they compound interest on their latest book, latest $100,000 speach and so on. These jokers get lifetime bennies, us normal joe's volunteer for the military and go to the VA to ask if they could fix a tooth.....at an economy rate(willing to pay something) just not azz rape prices the dentist charge and get told, "is it service connected?" No, but I'm broke, need it fixed and figured since we do volunteer and all. It's ok for the politicians though. Also don't think these chuckle heads should sit up there and be allowed to vote on their own raise! What kind of schmidt is that??? Perhaps your 300 plus million Boss' should vote wether or not they get a raise, that would make them "earn" it a bit harder I think.
