IN GOD WE TRUST
The Buffet Rule.
We must support this...pass it on and let us 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
- Salary of Speaker of the House . . . . . . . …… . . $223,500 FOR LIFE
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………… This is really stupid
- Salary of Majority/Minority Leaders . . . . . . . . $193,400 FOR LIFE Ditto last line
Average Salary of a teacher . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $40,065
Average Salary of a deployed Soldier. .. . . . . $38,000
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 dolikewise.
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 no 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 12/1/14. 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?
THISIS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS! If you agree, pass it on. If not, delete. You are one of my 20+ - Please keep it going, and thanks!
BLESSED IS THE NATION WHOSE GOD IS THE LORD
Marcus Psalm 33:12
I breathe as Your peace, all through this day.
If I receive news that is unsettling, I breathe peace into everyone involved. I breathe peace into every aspect of the circumstances.
If I am with someone who is upset, I breathe peace for me and I breathe peace for he them.
As I try to get things back on track, I breathe peace to connect with wisdom, strength, courage and love. I let Your spirit guide my actions.
I as breathe your Peace, I let it permeate every aspect of my existence. I imagine Your peace infilling me, now and always.
Thank You, Sweet Presence of Peace. And so it is. Amen!
