I guess it would be nice if we could all vote for ourselves a big fat raise each year. I'm really beginning to hate our government. They continually talk about the poor and suffering people who need help and yet they fly around in their private jets wanting to tax us more. You've got the first lady wearing 500 dollar sneakers to help with the poor. If she really wanted to help, she would have given the 500 dollars to the poor. Washington keeps telling us that we all must sacrifice in this crisis and yet I don't see them doing one d@mn bit of sacrificing. ARGH!
