Average salary of somebody on welfare 30,000.00 that's what needs fixing.

There is NO corporate CEO in America or any Bank Executive that would demean him or herself by only taking in 450,000.00 for life. That is chump change to them.

Are the pay scales for public employees completely out of whack? Yes. Should a US Veteran be making more than a congressperson or a banking executive? Definately.

Occupy Wall Street protesters know this and acknowledege this.

Do you dispise OWS because they agree with you or that they show distain for Republicans and Democrats equally, unlike other organizations? (see: Party, Tea.)

Either you like the status quo or you don't. Pick a side.

Some people just woke up, didn't you!
How many of us get pay FOR LIFE, and benefits FOR LIFE?
It's wrong, and it only takes ONE term for them to reap the benefits of serving in office!! ONE TERM and they benefit from it for the rest of their life!
We could save a whole lot of money by getting rid of this one line item.
When you're out, you're out.
Take the money making opportunity OUT of Washington!

Wow, do any of you know what you are talking about? The stuff you are saying, 11:38, is completely false. Congress members don't get pay or benefits for life by only serving one term. Do you bother to do any research before you spout off or do you accept whatever you read on a blog or e-mail forward at face value? There's this miraculous thing called Google where you could find out the truth if you really wanted to.

To 9:05, be comforted. This post isn't factually accurate. It's just another e-mail forward made up by someone who assumes he knows the truth without checking on the facts, much like 11:38.
