we need a complete goverment overhaul. The politicians should be volunteers who only get paid a per deim. Two term max. and lobbyists should be deemed unconstitutional and be tried for treason.

I am not in favor of term limits - I want the few good ones to stay forever, and we have elections every 2 years for the House.

I would love to pay them far less. It is very expensive in Washington, though, seriously, they don't usually own houses, they rent houses and bunk together. Won't hurt 'em, but have to pay them the inflated Washington rate. Still less than that cushy salary.

And why do they get lifetime free healthcare for their service to our country? Let them COBRA in like everyone else and pay up, then be forced to find insurance at age 60.

Somebody mentioned a TAX on lobbyist licenses. I fully agree. And an entry fee every time they walk in a door. But treason works, too

Citizens United has screwed us - we have to get that overturned, it's given them free reign.
