Government Elitists

What is a Government Elitist?  Well, a Government Elitist is a member of our government, that thinks they are better than the people they were elected to represent. 

How do we know they are Elitist?  Let's take a look at some examples.

Does the average American get automatic pay raises?
Well, the members of Congress all get automatic raises.  In fact, they have to vote to stop a raise.  What's up with that?  Can anyone explain to me why that makes sense?  These Elitists have tried to distract the American people, by criticizing Wall Street.   What is ironic, is that these Elitists are the ones who are really taking advantage of the American people.  This needs to stop!  We need ethical government representation.  We need a law that ties compensation for members of Congress to the minimum wage.  They get a raise, when the average American gets a raise. 

Does the average American get a life-long pensions for just a couple of years work?
Well, the members of Congress all have specialized pension plans.  And, they get their pensions no matter what.  This, while they are voting in legislation to dilute and remove pension benefits for the men and women who have defended our country for decades.  Think about it: how much money could we save by not awarding all of these lavish benefits on our congressional representatives.?  Why can't these congressional representatives live with the pension benefits that all Americans are expected to live with?  We need to make sure our congressional representatives live with the laws (and consequences) they make.  I think that if all government workers (including members of congress) had to live with Social Security, then, they would make sure it worked well.  The problem is that Elitists like to make rules for the masses (us average Americans), and, then, they like to do what ever they want to do.  They believe they are ... special.  ;-)

Does the average American have a designer Health Care plan FOR LIFE?
Uh, no.  The average American is lucky if they have a health care plan through their employer.  Given the number of people we already have on the Medicare and Medicaid programs, it seems to me that we should be concentrating on improving the quality and efficiency of these programs.  Well, there is no better way to motivate Members of Congress to fix these programs, than to make them (the members of congress) to use these same programs.  

The bottom line is simple.  These people work for us.  So, how does it make since that they are able to determine their own compensation?  We need a constitutional amendment, that forces any changes to the compensation for elected members of government, to be put to a national referendum.  That is the one way to make sure there are no deals; it's the only way to ensure that we have ETHICAL behavior out of our elected officials.

Every average American has to live with the risk of losing their job.  It's time for these Government Elitists to be held accountable.  They should have to live with the same programs as the people that they are supposed to be representing.  It's time for average Americans to take back their country!

Vote the Government Elitists out of office!
