Her, Boxer, and Feinstein have always been fucking rich. I'm thinking of your show this afternnon and the b.s. with the Kennedys, Moore, Chomsky, etc. I'm so sick of it. These people always have their hands in my pockets.

What, is it "pay by the word" time now? One word comment is grounds for an entire post? Think you're Reynolds all of a sudden, "Heh", "Indeed"? Hmph.

Obviously atrios and Ace are on to something here. If Ace limits himself to HEH, LOVELY, and WHO'D OF THOUGHT, his traffic would pick up and he'd probably replace instapundit. Genius, pure genius.

Um, Ace, we actually are interested in what you think. Fuck you for making me say this, you vodka-addled whore.

And... I'm HAPPY!!

I'm sure those of our elected leaders who have a vast personal fortune will forgo their entire salary.

Just like they expect our cooperate leaders to before any of the rank and file takes a hit.

No tax increases as long as any congresscritter with a personal net worth of over 3.3M draws pay sounds fair.

Ryan: How did you come up with 3.3M? Seems to me that's a little much to be claiming the coming poverty if "we don't get a COLA."

Being in business for myself, I'd sure like to be able to get into my customer's pocketbooks by claiming poverty, and I'd be a lot closer to the truth than those thieves.

The problem ultimately, of course, is that people from every other state keep sending those thieves back. It is, of course, never "my" congressman (whoever that may be, from whatever state that may be).

Someday we may get real Republicans back in control. In the meantime, fiscal irresponsibility is rampant in both parties from nearly all the members, who think that all money is their's (they are the government), and they allow us to keep too much of their money already.

Botox aint free baby.

That is the best headline on a blogpost I can remember. I'd like to buy the t-shirt.

Nancy Pelosi Rails At Wealthiest 1%, Then Votes Herself A Pay Raise Putting Her Into the Top 0.8%

Just look at it. Sitting there. Mocking her.

165K is 5% of 3.3M.

I often see a 5% withdrawl batted around as what you can retire on as a % of savings. So I just took that one.

Almost no one holds thier congressman accountable. Or even lets them know how they feel. When was the last time you called yours?

Yesterday. And my senators last Monday. And emails nearly every week. Either they think me the world's worst crank or a concerned citizen. I hope it's the latter, but it's probably the former. Real people, you see, don't just assume important people need to be told how peons feel. (I hope everyone realizes that last bit was a slam at the blinding power of power.)
