It doesnt bother the Congress

even a little bit to change social security. To dip into it. To offer it to second cousins of second cousins. To cut benifits to the man who has payed in for 50 years. Congress has its own plan.
It doesnt bother them to change medicaid or medicare. They have their own plan. They can tax you beyond 50% of your income. They just do it in increments of 2% here and 3% there. They will get their money. They are the aristocracy. They rule. Look carefully at your utilities bill. Read the newspaper when the headlines talk of re-assessing your property. No new tax. Just a HUGE new re-assessment.Most of the politicians from your state live in the Bahamas, or Jamaica, or Rural Virginia or Maryland. Most of them are lawyers.The balance are CEO's. Standing board members or board members who have 'stepped down' for a season to serve.
They get the best of everything. The wage earner on the other hand gets nothing. A wage. A taxed wage. A taxed to death wage. When a congressman/Senator retires he gets a huge portion of his present salary as his retirement. some get 100% They fly free, they are chauffeured everywhere, and eat free wherever they eat. If the court of George the IIIrd were offered what a congressman gets today he would have lived better than the king.
