With a Government shutdown among us and a Congress that seems deadlocked on everything at every angle, please explain to us why should we pay any of them the money we do for such a poor job. The elected Government has done little if anything that has helped to progress the people. They argue over the Affordable Health Care Act, understandable but to purposely disregard the safety and well being of the american people is to much. Demand that the members of congress cut their pay a minimum 25% until an approval by the people. Where the people are allowed to vote weather congress gets a raise or not.
