Fair Play For All!

As a new year has begun and all of our great leading politicians are busy making all the new laws that will govern our lives, I think we have to question what is “fair play“.

The laws they make for the good of the people clearly is NOT the laws that govern them.
They sell Americans that these changes are for their good, and society as a whole. They are masters at the art of lying in order to convince America they were elected to represent the people. They seem to have forgotten that this too in our society is a privilege NOT A RIGHT, as they claim with education and healthcare. These laws have shown they usually are not for the good of the people, but benefits themselves and the rich that purchase them.

When the common people of America have to be held up to a higher standard then those that represent us, it comes time to replace them. When Americans deliberately steal and abuse others, they are prosecuted. The elites of America do the same thing, and are rewarded. My guess is like most Americans this is “UNACCEPTABLE”.

A couple of ways of this abuse of power and greed is shown in the automatic pay raises and a cost of living increase each year they have voted in for themselves. Would you like to vote yourself in a raise or COLA?

As economic times have gotten worse over the years affecting the common people we are asked to give more and more, while a very few are excluded, the politicians been part of that group.

I think we would all love to make the salaries they are paid. John Boehner received a pay increase of $30,100 to increase his pay to $223,500 year. The rest of our great leaders has a base pay of $174,000 a year, with the Majority and Minority leaders making $193,400 a year and….don’t forget all the great benefits they receive. Better healthcare, expense accounts, great retirement for life available after serving one term, and don’t forget the 3 day work week.

ENOUGH, I don’t know about the rest of America, but I am damn tired of paying for politicians that only work for the rich.
