Why should Congress be entitled to benefits that those they represent do not have. They are elected as representatives. They are to represent their constituents and not become wealthy or reap benefits that only they are entitled to and that THEY vote on.
Why is this important?
1. Congress should have term limits
2. Congress should not have retirement benefits, like every American after their term they need to get a job.
3. Congress should get the same government health care benefits as those they represent.
