    Default What if ??


    What if the people of the U.S. had the say in what an elected offical got payed based on their job performance. We decide ( VOTE ) their pay, their raise's, their time off, their benefits, and if they are not good at their job they get, demoted, layed off, or fired, as decied by the people, not by theirselves. Once they have repremended on an offense, they're not allowed back in office. When did WE lose the say?????????

    Then we would have VERY few politicians in office, and the ones that did manage to keep their jobs would probably be unable to afford to pay their light bills!!! :D

    Average wage earner working for private company = 40,000 + a year
    Average wage of public or government employee = 71,000 + a year

    Anyone see the problem here ? Of course their benefits package are better too.
    Keep in mind that the government produces nothing tangible. No goods , products
    or anything but mountains of " red tape ". Yet some still argue that more and bigger government is the answer to all our problems. Yep just like candy bars cure diabetes.

    Any of ya ever read this???

    When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
    We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. --Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.
