Running for Congress Anyone?

It will help solve your financial problems, if you serve just 5 years, you can get a pension.  5 years, is that fair?  I own my own business and have worked 40 years and still have to work.  This is not fair and no wonder Congress sometimes can not relate to what you and I go through in everyday battles of life.  Benjamin Franklin did not want elected officials to get paid for their service and I am not saying that is right, for they do have families to support.  I am just asking to change the 5 year pension because after 5 years how can they relate to us little people when they have it made, in a sense.  At least Congress knows we have social security, and I have a suggestion for a new law I would write if I was a Congressman.  Anytime Congress uses Social Security money to try to balance our nation's budget, we the citizens can go in their pensions and screw around with their money.  How about that?

  1. That is crazy! I had no idea that pensions worked that way for politicians. This isn't fair.
