Mr. Kennedy and others of his ilk are well taken care of by us. Their retirements are set, health care and all. Ask Mr. Kennedy and the rest to document for 1 week everything they do. If they are honest ( I can’t believe I said that. ) You will see that they have no idea what the rest of us go through every day. Do you think he is concerned about his job? Doubtful, and even if he lost his job he would not seek unemployment or wonder where his next meal or where he will live will be, or how will he get his medication.. Do you think for a minute he is concerned about his wages being reduced because of cheap unskilled labor? Likely not! They give themselves raises.
That is why he and the rest can afford to be bleeding hearts at the expense of the working people of this Country.

Do you see the media report on this topic without political spin? Only a very few. The negatives we espouse are swept under the rug.

In short, I believe that the last 30 yrs. or more are absolute evidence that our politicians have not taken their oath or responsibilities seriously. It’s time for a pay cut. And a benefit cut. When they begin to take their fiduciary responsibilities seriously then we can talk. And anyway where does it state in any document from the founders or any writings that these individuals should be compensated so highly. I didn't know PUBLIC SERVICE was to be rewarded so greatly. I thought it was for an individual to make an impact on policy not my pocketbook.
