Government officials do not deserve the 6 figure salary they are paying themselves with our taxpayer dollars to run our country into the ground. It is time for the American people to use their voice.
Congress is cutting unemployment benefits, cutting salaries across the board, downsizing the military, taxing more and more previously tax-exempt organizations, and couldn't even pass a budget on time earlier this fiscal year.
This is all done in an attempt to 'reduce the federal debt,' which was caused none other than those who we elect to make the legislative decisions to make our lives better and our country stronger.
Not once have they cut their own salaries.
This petition does just that. No elected government official will make more than the average American anually: $56,078.00
