We give politicians the power of life and death over us, they should be held to a higher standard. If you can't stop being greedy enough to give up your 7 mansions and get paid their equivalent in cash as everyone else who has to work and depend on a pension I don't see why you should be trusted with bombing Syria for the umpteenth time. It would almost look like you're doing it to get your shares in Raytheon a bump (something I thank Joe for since my shares in murder inc have done wonderfully since his election). Doctors on the other hand don't go around cutting legs off for our own good. Do try and understand that last sentence, it would be dreadfully boring if you said the same thing for a third time.

If you want a higher standard why aren’t you willing to compensate at a higher rate? What are you offering to get these higher standards? Sounds like you want to punish them rather than reward them for trying to lead? > Do try and understand that last sentence Not sure why you’ve decided to be snarky like this?

No more insider trading for congress, or anyone else elected. >Not sure why you’ve decided to be snarky like this? You were being very boring, and now it turns out that you didn't even understand the first thing I said. A pointless debate that's been a waste of time all around. Do better next time.
