Health Care Reform .... Pissed off Rant
Stop the bull shit that you need 60 votes and that you have to get it done by Xmas ..... There is no law on the books that
says you have to take a Christmas break you can work on the 28th, 29th, 30th, and 31st. @ 170,00 per year you are in the
top 5 % of all wage earners and i am willing to bet that for only 100 K per year millions of people would work over the Holidays.


Stay there, get the job done, and take the insurance companies' d***s out of your mouth.



The current salary (2009) for rank-and-file members of the House and Senate is $174,000 per year

4. Which is low compared to the people they represent

but high compared to the people who voted for them.

We must change who is considered a member of the "electable" political class. Before it's too late. The marriage of corporations and government once consummated will be unalterable except in a divorce a la Russe.
