How you been doing? Good as you can I hope. Willing2 I had to take a break from this website and the political section I would get so infuriated at some of these Left Winger Bleeding Heart Liberal Idiots that posted back then. I will not mention any names I think most of them finally realized they were wrong. And the quick bluff with the race card won't always work.

I believe George Washington actually rejected the notion of Congress and the presidency receive any pay at first. He was then convinced otherwise when it was explained to him that only the wealthy will serve in congress and/or the presidency if one does not receive a paycheck. Washington, was the richest president in history, i 've been told, when you adjust his net worth for inflation. However, he supposedly spent a great deal of his own money paying for the revolutionary war. Always respected him for that.

Anyhow, I believe, that congressmen/women should not receive a pay rate larger than the median american salary, They should also have the same health benefits as the rest of the country and have to rely on social security for retirement. Furthermore a law should be made making it illegal to serve in congress at the same time you have money in the stock market.
