I Just Had A Thought

[affrayer]

You know how republicans like to sell the idea of "performance" pay? When it comes to everyone else they are all for it. But I have a question:

How about performance Pay for politicians?

And the rest is silence...

2. I feel the same way about drug testing for jobs and welfare. I'm all for it, if they do it first.

4. I think they get it now from the corporations

in the form of "contributions" and jobs after congress.
Based on some of the compensations I have seen, corporations are very pleased with their employees on both sides of the aisle.

5. I believe that is the current system

It's just that *we* can't afford to "hire" them.

Obviously, there are a few exceptions.

6. You're partially correct......

.....they put on a performance, and WE pay!

7. couple it with campaign finance reform and you may have something

although many politicians make their real money writing books or becoming lobbyists so their actual pay means less to them than it does to you of I.

8. Alas, they're already getting performance pay(offs) from their corporate pals.
