Really? Do you realize that the most Junior member of Congress makes $184,000.00 a year for their 80 days of work. And after 3 years in they receive 80% of the top salary they achieved while in Congress for the rest of their lives WITH annual cost of living increases. And you and I are paying that. Pretty good negotiating if you ask me. Where's your outrage? I mean, that does come out of the taxes we pay.
Executives receive huge pensions, severence pays, stocks, bonuses' planes, vacation homes.... All negotiated. Wheres your opposition to that? Afterall, at least that figures into the prices you pay for the products they produce.
But you don't feel that the average everyday 40 hour a week blue collar worker deserves to negotiate pay and pension? You don't think teachers, firefighters, policeman, nurses, coal miners deserve the same considerations?
What about work conditions? Do they have a right to negotiate for safe working conditions?
This just absolutly makes me sick.
