You have to be Speaker or equivalent to hit the threshhold.<br /><br />Obama was going to raise their salaries to $174,900 by executive order but they had the good sense to say no. If only they could extend that good sense to other areas!Mari Meehanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09322012728807169863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14192095.post-59675461420676983642013-01-02T04:21:41.595-08:002013-01-02T04:21:41.595-08:00It would help a lot if the average citizen would a...It would help a lot if the average citizen would actually READ the constitution and the bill of rights. <br /><br />It doesn't say what the pundits say it says. The problem is too many citizens actually believe what the pundits say instead of reading it for themselves. <br /><br />Does any modern person actually think we NEED a militia? We have a standing army and a police force in today's world.

"we the people" lost...the sad thing is... "we the people" lost control of Congress a long time ago.. I can't find anyone who can tell me where we the people let Congress vote in their own wages, raises, and etc. Anything we the people want has to be voted on by Congress.. like term limits... can't be changed unless Congress votes for it..and who is going to vote themselves out of the job? Congress was never meant to be a career.. yet it is. We can vote for whom we want for our stste.. but we are at the mercy of those who vote in their states... meaning we are stuck with the likes of the California misfits and Neveda's Reid.. and etc. We lost control so long ago. I knew they would never pass a tax on those of the $250,000 because that is the wages of Congressmen.. and they sure aren't going to vote for a raise in taxes on their wages. Why is it the cuts are Medicare, education and military, but never Congress? sad..sad in deed. Word Tosserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03519547102435672497noreply@blogger.com
