From a friend comes an email that I was asked to forward, but Ill do even better and publish it here at FB, for the public to see... In light of our current situation - I think this one is worth fsharing. If you agree, please share, and if not, since you cannot delete, say your piece. That is the American process, we still live in a democracy, lets guard it with our life. Buffets Rule Salary of retired US Presidents . . . . . . . . . .$180,000 FOR LIFE Salary of House/Senate members . . . . . . . $174,000 FOR LIFE. This is stupid Salary of Speaker of the House . . . . . . . . . .$223,500 FOR LIFE.This is really stupid Salary of Majority/Minority Leaders . . . . . . . $193,400 FOR LIFE. Ditto last line Average Salary of a teacher . . . . . . . . . . . . $40,065 Average Salary of a deployed Soldier . . . . . .$38,000 I think we found where the cuts should be made! If you agree please share, I just did.. Warren Buffet, in an interview with CNBC, offers one of the best quotes about the debt ceiling: I could end the deficit in 5 minutes, he told CNBC. You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election. The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971, before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc. Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took one (1) year or less to become the law of the land, all because of public pressure. Warren Buffet is asking each addressee to share this email in your social network pages, and ask their friends to do the same... In three days, most people in The United States of America, and around the world, will have received the message. These are recommendations that really should be passed around, and insisted on by the taxpaying public, from their respective representatives in both House of Congress. Congressional Reform Act of 2013 1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when theyre out of office. 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. It may not be used for any other purpose. 3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, 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. 6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people. 7. All benefit contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 12/1/13. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. Congress 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 get back to work. If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S.) to receive the message. Dont you think its time? THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS! See: snopes/politics/quotes/buffett.asp I agree and we, the people, should demand these changes while we still can!
