The more you think about it the more appealing it becomes. If Congress and the like
really want to serve their country, let them do it at cut-rate salaries like the rest of us have to do. Betcha you won't be hearin' squakin' 'bout cuttin' medicare and getting rid of Social Security
if THEY don't have any security "FOR LIFE" anymore.
Gee, I wonder who voted for those goodies? Mmmm, methinks I smell rats...watch them jump ship.
btw- no offense, but I think your worries about Congress being corrupt is a ship long sailed. It's the nature of politicians-both sides-to be corrupt. it comes along with power. Unless you're Spidey Man
