KECorbin22 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 The less you do the more you make, Obama gets the Nobel peace prize for ????, Nancy P and Harry R are worth multi-millions started out as poor little democrats. Congress works (That is what they call it) less then 130 days a year gets an Easter vacation (3 weeks) summer break (2 months) thanksgiving vacation (2 weeks) Christmas vacation ( although they don't call it that anymore for 3 weeks) plus 10 national holidays (MLK and Columbus day always on a Monday) Free Health Care (NOT Obamacare) Free Postal service, reduce lunch fees at the National Café, and their annual pay raises are automatic, they have to vote not to get one. Yes it must be tough to be under(over)paid. They should be paid with peanuts, they could stand on .every corner with a sign and sell them. Don't forget the lobbyist that push under the table benefits to all of them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

41chevy Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Harry S Truman when he left office along with Congressman and Senators received no pension or perks. By 1959 Harry and Bess were broke. He refused to cheapen the office of President by using his name to endorse goods and services of companies. Congress and Eisenhower passed legislation in 1961 to give Congressmen, Senators, the President and V.P. pensions and other perks for life after one term of service. LBJ and Congress amended the law to give benefits after one year of service. Before Ike, the elected officials went back to their lives and careers before their elections not the Federal Teat.My family and I live okay on a hell of a lot less than $174,000 a year pay all my bills, feed my family, maintain my property and equipment, owe no money to anybody for anything and have enough left to bank some and give some to select Veterans groups. Why can't they live on it?Also how does the Gentleman from Virginia feel he is on the Board of Directors for the U.S. thought he was an elected official.

Popular Post rsb502 Posted April 9, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2014 I never understood why our elected officials that decided to run for office to help the people of our nation needed to make more than the people they serve. Just the fact that they get their pay, with raises if I remember right for life after just showing up for roll call makes me want to vomit, then they say its not enough, TOUGH SHIT! What would happen if you or I went to work and said Im gonna abstain from my job today I just dont want to do it. think about it it is their job to vote on the policies and issues of the nation and decide the best course of action, not for themselves but for THE GOOD OF THE NATION, why is that so freaking hard to understand? Why wont someone actually just remind them they swore an oath of office to uphold the constitution not an oath of their bank account. I think they should all be in jail for embezzlement, or grand larceny, technically its our money they are taking that constitutes larceny and the amount makes it grand larceny. I would if I took money and didnt work for it. I gotta quit reading these political threads or im gonna have a stroke. 4 Quote "Any Society that would give up a little LIBERTY to gain a little SECURITY will Deserve Neither and LOSE BOTH" -Benjamin Franklin"If your gonna be STUPID, you gotta be TOUGH" "You cant always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomastractorsvc Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Also that is a myth about the retirement program they are covered under the same retirement plan as all federal employees FERS.

41chevy Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Now if we could get somebody to enforce this legislation, we wouldn't have to pay out a dime to the entire pack. Seem most are guilty of commiting at least a few of these. PaulFederal Pension Forfeiture ActThe Federal Pension Forfeiture Act , by Senators John Kerry (D-MA) and Ken Salazar (D-CO) that would cause a member of Congress to lose the pension due to: Bribery of public officials or witnesses Conspiracy to commit offense or to defraud the United States Perjury while denying the commission of bribery or conspiracy Subornation of perjury committed in connection with false denial or false testimony of another individual Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quickfarms Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Polosi gave a speech here in Los Angeles stating that now with Obamacare health care is a right and no longer restricted to the privileged few! This means that those of us that work for a living and have had healthcare are the privileged few! What a croc. I do know quite a few people that are self employed and had there existing insurance canceled due to Obamacare. The best I can figure out is that Obamacare has outlawed the cheap basic insurance that the 20 and 30 year old generation typically has and forced them to buy more expensive insurance to fund the plan.

thomastractorsvc Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Actually the only thing it has done is waste millions of dollars. An insurance study just published said only 36% that signed up were previously uninsured. Most of them signed up for Medicare and Medicaid the real free insurance.BTW about time on the HHS resigning, should have happened 6 months ago Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

rsb502 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Well her husband was the real estate broker that got the commission from selling off the postal buildings they shut down. They probably didnt make any money there though, and it definitely wasnt a conflict of interests.
