But then why would he want to make any less than a public school superintendent!? Arghh--these fat cats make way too much. Don't forget free 100% health coverage for life for the prez and senators and (who else?) I especially have a hard time with that one for any senator, since this applies to senators of even one term. Unfortunately, the decision makers will never cut their own salaries and benefits, whether it be in government or business. It doesn't matter if a light fraction of all those extra perks combined would --perhaps-- fix social security (that they "borrowed" from!!!) or a serious health coverage crisis. Why should the super duper rich actually pay 100.00 a month for insurance when it could be given to somebody more needy? Those waiters in the Hamptons need their 18% gratuity! But lay off the prez, please: How could somebody earning only 33,200*.00 a month possibly survive!!!? ( --400,000 divided by 12 months =@33,333.33)
