Only when we go to water the roots of the tree of liberty.
But maybe not even then. They've killed the tree.
America -- a great idea, didn't last.
Never work. They’d make their pay higher, and time needed for retirement shorter, and the percentage higher. It’d be a nonstop merrygoround of scum dropping in for a couple of terms and departing with fat wallets. Also, we’d have zero leverage as they are short timers anyway.
The “ Political” Class
This. I used to think they were stupid. They might be that, but the real problem is they are not interested in the long-term success of the United States. They are interested in porking some 24 year old intern and staying in office.
I would have less of a problem with their salary & bennies if they would do the peoples' work and not feather their own nest.
Come to think of it, there are some corporate executives who are similarly worthless...but that's another issue.
They will continue to do all of those things as long as they are not term limited. Never before in the history of this country have term limits been needed as they are now. We have to rid the halls of congress with the likes of Frank, Dodd, Specter, Reid, Pelosi, and many more, from both parties....
There’s nothing wrong with my representatives. Your’s are the problem.
They are, for the most part, criminals that only have their own interest at heart and to he** with the people who voted them into office.
“What Exactly Bothers US About our Elected Representatives?”
Just how EXACT did ya have in mind???
That’s a lotta ink!
Generally, all politicians are scum—that oughta do it!
