Pay U.S. Legislators a Real Living Wage
The Legislative Branch of the United States is guaranteed lifetime pensions, health insurance, and a cost of living increase every year. This must stop.
Why is this important?
Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness are guaranteed rights from the Bill of Rights. We, as US citizens, have these unalienable rights according to this document. More often than not, we as US citizens, are being denied these rights.
Life is threatened by poor health care options; we have to decide to pay for prescription medication or pay for food. Hospital costs have skyrocketed with the increase in for-profit entities, we avoid going to a hospital for fear of the final bill. Pharmaceutical CEOs arbitrarily raise the price of life-saving drugs for more profit, we have to decide if our deductible will cover which drugs.
Liberty has been taken away by the militarization of our peace officers in response to the increased threat of violence that is perpetuated by an industry that lives for violence. Our children are being slaughtered by the use of war-time weapons made all too easily available. Our citizens are being randomly sacrificed for profits.
Happiness has been reduced to moment to moment instances because we have to settle for a working wage not enough to provide for basic necessities. Housing costs are such a burden that our citizens cut costs on utilities which costs them their lives while trying to stay warm/cool.
U.S. Legislators are paid lifetime benefits after one year of office with guaranteed pensions and lifetime healthcare. This must stop.
A "living wage" must be instituted with a standard non-guaranteed 401k, non-extendable healthcare with deductibles, and a term limit for all.
This is a call for equality across our nation in pursuit of Life, Liberty, and Happiness. Join me in making our voices heard, VOTE?
Thank you.
