Save Americans $65 million by cutting government salaries. From the House of Representatives up to the president.

Created by J.C. on December 05, 2012

We the people of the undersigned wish to have the salaries of the government be looked at more closely. The president of the United States makes $400,000 a year for life. The Vice President makes $230,700 a year. Senator makes $174,000 per year. Representative makes $174,000. Majority and minority Leaders make $193,400. Speaker of the house makes $223,500. Assoc. Justice, U.S. Supreme Court makes $213,900. If we cut these salaries by 70% they would still be better off then the average American worker. This would save the American people approx. 65 million dollars in a year. When we have people losing their jobs because of our economy I'm sure we can make more cuts like this and have Congress able to support their families.
