Immediately stop all retirement pay for political offices. This is for the President, Senate, House of Representatives

Created by R.G. on December 30, 2012

The U.S. Government needs to immediately stop paying retirement to past President's, Senate, Representatives, or any elected or appointed political official. Serving 2, 4, 6, or 8 years in office should not entitle anyone to 100 percent retirement from any position. If (and that's a big IF), anyone should retire from a political position then it should be based on the SAME scale as military retirement pay is based, which is for TWENTY (20) years service then you'd be entitled to 50 percent of base pay and it could increase by 2.5 percent for each additional year up to a maximum of sixty percent retirement.
And yes using this scale there should be NO political figure getting a retirement check
