I REPORT, YOU DECIDE.
The Buffet
Rule
We must support this...pass
it on and let’s see if these idiots understand what
people pressure is all about.
Salary of retired US
Presidents . . . . . . . . . .. . $180,000 FOR LIFE
Salary of House/Senate
members . . . . . . . . $174,000 FOR LIFE This is stupid

House . . . . . . . . . . $223,500 FOR LIFE This is

I think we found where the
cuts should be made! If you agree pass it on, I just
did.
Warren Buffet, in a recent
interview with CNBC, offers one of the best quotes about
the debt ceiling:
"I could end the deficit in
5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You just pass a law that says
that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP,
all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for
re-election.
The 26th amendment (granting
the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months &
8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded
it. That was in 1971 - before computers, e-mail, cell
phones, etc.
Of the 27 amendments to the
Constitution, seven (7) took one (1) year or less to
become the law of the land - all because of public
pressure.
Warren Buffet is asking each
addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty
people on their address list; in turn ask each of those
to do likewise.
In three days, most people
in The United States of America will have the message.
This is one idea that really should be passed around.
Congressional Reform Act of
2014
1. No Tenure / No Pension.
A Congressman/woman collects
a salary while in office and receives no pay when
they're out of office.
2. Congress (past, present &
future) participates in Social Security.
All funds in the
Congressional retirement fund move to the Social
Security system immediately. All future funds flow into
the Social Security system, and Congress participates
with the American people. It may not be used for any
other purpose.
3. Congress can purchase
their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.
4. Congress will no longer
vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise
by the lower of CPI or 3%.
5. Congress loses their
current health care system and participates in the same
health care system as the American people.
6. Congress must equally
abide by all laws they impose on the American people.
7. All contracts with past
and present Congressmen/women are void effective
12/31/14. The American people did not make this contract
with Congressmen/women.
Congress made all these
contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an
honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned
citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s),
then go home and back to work.
If each person contacts a
minimum of twenty people then it will only take three
days for most people (in the U.S.) to receive the
message. Don't you think it's time?
THIS IS HOW YOU FIX
CONGRESS!
