Oh thank you for taking the bait and asking me what gives me the right to decide how much anyone earns. I ask you then what gives an employer the right to do the same? Should he just say you are going to pay me the wages I determine? No he would be shown the door just as many in congress should be done likewise.
But here's your answer. The answer is simple and one many politicians have long forgotten. Who do they work for? They work for taxpayers namely the American citizen. That I do believe gives me the right to object to or give approval to their wages does it not? Yes I voted. I voted for Howard Phillips. Care to call him a Marxist? No indeed he's not. He is the president and founder of the Conservative Caucus. He has fought the good fight long and hard for principles I hold to and respect.
