No More Privileged Status for Politicians
Sign here demanding your Senators and Congressmen no longer receive a privileged status in the United States, they are equal to the American public. Signing this petition willl demand that Senators & Congressmen:
1) No longer receive privileged medical coverage and benefits.
2) Cap their salaries to reflect the median income of their constituients living in the states they represent.
3) Require Senators & Congressmen to report any & all money, donations, and gifts they receive from lobbyists or as campaign contributions to the I.R.S., including the source and amount.
Why is this important?
The political system in the United States has created a "privileged class" of politicians, both in the Senate & Congress, who earn far more than is justifiable and receive special benefits and healthcare, even after the end of their careers. "We the People" are supposed to dictate the course of government in this country, not a privileged minority. With all men & women created equal, Senators and Congressmen should be subject to the same healthcare and benefits as working class Americans and, in this time of economic austerity, receive a significant pay-cut putting them on par with the American working class average salary. After all, our taxes pay for their privileges, and We The People can no longer afford it.
