Another rant, cuz I hate Dubya

[hellziggy]

Why are we paying him so much? Because he needs the money?

We are paying that fucktard $400,000 a year plus a $50,000 non-taxable expense allowance. Because there are so many extra expenses when you live in a god-damn mansion for free with a cleaning & cooking staff & can fly for free on Air Force One.

I think the president should be paid the Federal Minimum Wage. Period. It is supposedly enough to live on so it should be good enough for him! Of course $5.15/hr at 40 hrs a week is only $10,712 before any taxes, soc security, health insurance, 401k, etc are taken out... Hell, working 24/7 for $5.15 an hour would still be less than his god-damn expense account!

Dubya

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)

Rant mode off -but blood still boiling
