We The People Should Base Politician Salary on Merit

We The People of The United States of America should base politician salary on merit. I'm pretty sure many of you are sick of hearing "deficit this, budget cut that, unemployment rate up". I know I am, and we can't all point the finger at the President either because it all starts at the local level. We are paying politicians out of our taxes to raise our taxes, create new laws for the Police Department we fund out of tax dollars to fine us for, and approving their own raises. Can anyone really tell me what exactly your tax dollars were spent on? I highly doubt it, because the government doesn't work that way. Don't get me wrong, I still love this country. But we need to get our priorities straight. We need to stop over paying our government officials to screw us up! The people should have a vote on politician's raises based on how well he or she has done in office. Do any of us get a raise if we do a horrible job, not at all. We'll find ourselves in that unemployment bracket. This isn't a Republican or Democrat thing, this is an American thing.

Politicians and Athletes Making More Money Than Those Risking Their Lives

Pencil Pushers, Politicians, and Athletes Earning More Than Those Risking Their Lives Everyday!

I just saw something this morning that I have been hearing for a while that makes a lot of sense and basically demoralizes the value system of the United States of America. The thing that set the light of in my head, and its not something I haven't thought of already. Why are  people such as athletes, and pencil pushing politicians making more money than people that actually put their lives on the line day in and day out fighting for our country, and those putting their lives at risk on an everyday basis at the civil service level. Our soldiers, firefighters, police, EMT and Paramedics deserve more. As a retired EMT I know this first hand. I been retired a few years due to illness from being a World Trade Center Rescuer. Meanwhile we have people that never been on the front line of anything making more money and controlling our lives. I'm sorry but a judge at any level should not be making more money than someone that can actually save his or her life, neither should a politician. This is one of the issues that has our country drowning in debt. Politicians, and lawmakers are twisting the laws to their own benefit at the peoples expense. I honestly think a Judges salary cap should be no more that $50,000 to $60,000 a year. A soldiers pay should be raised to at least $70,000 to $80,000 a year. Athletes are the worst of them all, they make millions a year and some of them still bitch and complain that they are not making enough money just to throw or catch a ball. Lets see them run into a burning building, stand in the line of fire, or resuscitate someone's loved one on a daily basis. Things such as this are what brings America down, we glamorize all the wrong things and worship the wrong people. I have to honestly say that athletes such as Pat Tillman who left the NFL to actually be on the front line, and unfortunately he was killed in action serving our country. I salute him for being a real American. Lets bring our personal value up America. Let try to control what our elected officials and athletes earn, and hopefully that will give them a better perspective of what is right and wrong instead of dollars and cents!

What Has America Come To?

The price of gas is nearly $5.00, what the fuck is that? The price of everything has gone up, and jobs have gone down. Our country is straining our Armed Forces, and our pockets with the bills from the war. Every politician has his or her own agenda, nevermind what the people want and need. We have people starving in our own backyards and the government is giving aid to other countries with our money. I think the people of this counrty need to be more involved in the government affairs because we are getting screwed left and right. Instead of fighting wars in other countries this country needs to be fighting homelessness and poverty right here first. This country does all it can to suck the money right out of our pockets with laws that impose fines for the stupidest things. For example, Parking Authority. Why should we have to pay to park on streets that our taxes pay for, come on are you serious. We have to pay to park in our own city streets, and if we don’t pay we got a fine in the range of $20 or so for a 25 cent meter. Im just ranting right now, but seriously this government needs a serious reform. One day when I’m President.
