A novel idea

By: Diane Sori

Here's a novel idea...maybe those in Congress and the POTUS should be paid as volunteers...NOTHING! 

After all they're supposed to be public servants...serving for the good of the country. Public service is NOT supposed to a career but an honor for a limited amount of time to give others who want it a chance to serve 'We the People' NOT us give them fat paychecks and perks from OUR taxpayer pockets.

And for those who say then only the wealthy can serve oh how wrong you are as most of the so-called wealthy career politicians got that way by being career politicians. The salary and perks are HUGE so that someone entering NOT wealthy becomes wealthy in a few short years. And if one is already wealthy they should NOT take a salary...that should be a rule along with term limits, after all this is volunteer work...NO one is forces anyone to do it.
