How Stupid are we?

Letter to my boss .............

I have enjoyed working here these past several years. You have paid me very well and given me benefits beyond belief. Have 3-4 months off per year and a pension plan that will pay my salary till the day I die and then pay my estate one year salary death bonus and then continue to pay my spouse my salary with increases until she or he dies, and a health plan that most people can only dream of having.

Despite this, I plan to take the next 12-18 months to find a new position. During this time, I will show up for work when it is convenient for me. And in addition, I fully expect to draw my full salary and all the other perks associated with my current job.

Oh yes, if my search for this new job proves fruitless, I will be coming back with no loss in pay or status. Before you say anything, remember that you have no choice in this matter. I can, and I will do this.

Sincerely, Every Senator or Congressman running for President in 2020

Yeah. We are.

That needs to be changed.

Want to run for a different office or job? Gotta give up your current office or job and all perks, privilages, pay and benifits first.

There are resign to run laws in these states but it would take a huge outcry to force it on everyone, not to mention friendly judges that can strike it down along the way like one did with term limits.

Every congresscritter for the 60 years has knowingly spent money we DO NOT HAVE !
They should all have their pensions and all ‘bennnys’ canceled !

It is a TOTAL insult to taxpayers ON THEIR PART to continue
the present fiasco.....Anyone know how to dox all 535 ?

Don’t forget Congress votes for their own pay increases.

They gave themselves these privileges. They make the laws, and so they made laws to turn themselves into the ruling elite.

With few exceptions, I would like the whole lot of them kicked out and stripped of all benefits.

The queestion of how stupid we are is somewhat rhetorical. “We”, as a collective society prove the adage that our gullibility, or naivete has no bounds.

I could think of far better things to do to them.

Or, how about those congresscritters who change parties in the middle of their term? Is that fair to the people that elected them? There should be a law that states you have to serve out your term BEFORE you decide to run for another office or change parties.

Not a single one of them promises “First Do No Harm”.

Not sure why some folks don’t get term limits. Only way to get term limits, imo,is a constitutional amendment. Won’t even pass congress
