Winds of Change....
Warren Buffet is asking each addressee to forward this email to a
minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each
of those do likewise.
In three days, most people in The United States of America
will have the message. This is one idea that really should be
passed around.

1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a
salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office.
2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security.
2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security.
All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social
Security system immediately. All future funds flow into The Social
Security system, and Congress, participates with the American people.

just as all Americans do.
4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.
Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
5. Congress loses their current health care system and
participates in the same health care system as the American people.

effective 12/31/12. The American people did not make this contract
with Congressmen /women. Congressmen/women made all these
contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career.
The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should
serve their Term(s), then go home and back to work.

Don't you think it's time?
THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!

If you agree with the above, pass it on. If not, just delete.
You are one of my 20+. Please keep it going.
Just think, Barney Frank got rich off of us, and we will pay him for the rest of his life...
ReplyDeleteI would love to see a Congress abide by the laws they impose on us. Not likely in my lifetime...
ReplyDeleteRace, thanks ... there went breakfast.
ReplyDeleteTrump has20/20 hindsight!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see this enacted in my lifetime.
ReplyDeleteNot a Buffet fan but I agree with what is said here.
ReplyDeleteNeed to go back to state rule, accepting CA, OR, IL, NY, WA, NV, NJ, MA, MS, MT, OH, PN, yada yada, never mind.
Self rule rules.
EXCELLENT!
ReplyDelete#1 alone would clear out that cesspool like a room full of roaches when the lights are flipped on!
Mr. better than enormous hind end.
ReplyDeleteOpie, I'm with you all the way on that one.
ReplyDeleteWonderman, I'm not a fan either, but I sure do like this idea.
ReplyDeleteBrooke, works for me too.
ReplyDeleteGreat thoughts, but you must realize you are spitting in the wind...Congresssional perks are not negotiable...VERBOTEN!
ReplyDeleteYep they all get rich don't they. Poor when they show up and rich when they leave. Insider trading is okay for them.
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific day. :)
Scott, just dreaming.
ReplyDeleteSandee, it's a great business huh.
ReplyDeleteCertainly gets my vote.
ReplyDeleteThis is the way the country used to work.
Before the income tax and limitless spending.
I'm just finding it hard to believe this belongs to Buffett.
Edutcher, I think it was the 17th amendment what done us in.
ReplyDeleteThat would be a great start, but would do little to solve the economic mess we find ourselves in. Talk about free-loaders, congress is full of them and they protect their gravy train very well.
ReplyDeleteRon, I would love to put a bounty on the whole bouch.
