Cut the Congress, Senate & President's pay as they are expecting the rest of America to do.

Created by A.O. on March 03, 2013

I received an e-mail from MoveOn.org today about a petition they have set up to help solve our "financial crisis" and I think it needs to be done. Our Congress is imposing furloughs amounting to a 20% across-the-board pay cut for 800,000 federal employees. Yet, our Congress and the president are not seeing cuts to their salaries. This would be a great time for our leaders to show some responsibility and "take one for the team". Let's max our government employee incomes to $100k/year. Also, end the free health care & pension plans our tax dollars pay out to these already wealthy leaders and make them purchase their own plans as most other Americans have to. Live under the laws you are writing.
