  The problem isn’t age, it’s corruption and entrenchment.

  We need term limits for Congress.

  I’m not sure where the meme creator got the idea that they represent us.

  Why are you all so eager to prop up the corpse of a dead system? I genuinely can’t make any sense of it.

  Remember it’s not just the Republicans both sides of the aisle got their pockets loaded with bribe money to not change any of the laws. You get Jeffries on national TV crying about the usual Democratic talking points having everyone shake their head and saying not this shit again. Clearly he does not give a fuck about the $40,000 to $80,000 crowd they can eat cake. He wants to help the poor and there’s nothing wrong with that but the main priority is helping everybody but don’t forget the middle ground which they always do.

  Nobody working for government should get rich.

  No salary, they should be paid hourly at leas than minimum since most of their income is from gratuities.

  $300/month with a $1,000 deductible

  Where are you getting health insurance from? For that price my deductible is closer to $5,000!

  I just want them to tell me what stocks to buy.

    Monkeys paw. They comply, but don’t say which stocks they’ve already bought or are planning to sell.

  Unfortunately that’s one issue with too many workers is they want others to have less, like they do, rather than demand that they also deserve more! Take away what’s good for all, rather than feel they deserve it too. It’s low self-esteem perhaps and many need therapy, but healthcare costs too much and told it’s not macho to do so won’t. And that’s part of how we are here rather than like workers in EU that have benefits they expect as basic, and usa like “oh please some crumbs, sir!”

  it’s the US worms letting themselves be ruled like that who are sad.
  Keep crying about what ‘should be’.

  I think it would be better to tie it to a multiple of the minimum wage e.g ~3 or something like that. Then people would find it worth running for and they would be incentivised to increase the minimum wage.

  But the problem isn't really their pay, IMO, it's what they can do with it. They can buy up shit, invest in companies they collude with to increase their yield, and basically build up their wealth. A #WealthTax would make it much more difficult to do so. They'd have to spend the money and re-inject it into the economy instead of hoarding it like a bunch of geriatric dragons.

  Then watch none of these fuckers run. This could actually filter a lot of them
