Politicians live well, while the public toils

Story tools:

It’s time for politicians to take a cut in pay and benefits. They have great pay, great benefits and perks galore. And we pay for it. They never have to give up a thing. They seem to live well and always seem to be well rested.

They have no problems cutting education and health care for the rest of us. Seems like things have been cut to the bone. It’s time for politicians to take a pay cut. Decrease their pay, vacation days and anything else we can decrease for them so we can increase education and heath care spending for the rest of us. People’s health and educations are at stake while these turkeys are gobbling everything up for themselves.
