You know how republicans like to sell the idea of "performance" pay? When it comes to everyone else they are all for it. But I have a question:
How about performance Pay for politicians?
And the rest is silence...

2. I feel the same way about drug testing for jobs and welfare. I'm all for it, if they do it first. |

4. I think they get it now from the corporations |
|
in the form of "contributions" and jobs after congress. Based on some of the compensations I have seen, corporations are very pleased with their employees on both sides of the aisle.

5. I believe that is the current system |
|
It's just that *we* can't afford to "hire" them.

7. couple it with campaign finance reform and you may have something |
|
although many politicians make their real money writing books or becoming lobbyists so their actual pay means less to them than it does to you of I.
