"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal..." So bring yourselves down to our level, or bring us up to yours!
Marilyn agrees with this statement:
Our tax dollars were never meant to provide for an "elite" government. Congress should definitely be on the same programs that they vote in for the American people unless of course they are not "The American People" in which case they need to be ousted from office. For government employees to have better benefits than the hard working tax payers is beyond absurd.
Marilyn adds:
Of course the American taxpayers are paying through their taxes for our legislators to live an elite extravagant lifestyle, while the taxpayers in many cases scrimp to just get by.
worth a try
If it's good enough for us, it's good enough for them! Or, what's good for the Goose is good for the Gander!
Yeah! If it's so hot, why don't you have it? Not good enough for you? Hmmmmmmmmmm.
It is my opinion that that all politions should be held to the same benifits that all americans receive except the president.
This is imperative!
Yes, take away their equivalent of "public option" since they are against one for us.

Every citizen should be on the same health and retirement plan.
We need to look at all the perks that are offered. Health care, personal vehicles gas insurance, housing, food, etc. What all does the average citizen pay for?
