Politicians are so quick to tell the citizens to give to a cause, they tell folks to send money in to show their support. These same politicians are to blame for the incompetence and lack of vision to strengthen the levee walls in New Orleans. Perhaps not all politicians were involved in that particular issue in the particular city, but rest assured these deal making scoundrels have other skeletons in their closets and back door deals which put us all at risk. Favoritism in contracts, allowing projects in places which are unsafe, causing regulation issues to be to lax at times and too stringent to help competitors of other companies at other times. It is a self-serving world of incompetence and unethical-ness as these podium pushers tell us to give. First off I want to see the US Congress make a law that gives 100% of their next paycheck to the relief fund for those who have been devastated or lost everything in Hurricane Katrina. Secondly I want to see those who are paid by my tax dollars give one months salary to those in the Gulf Coast areas where homes where obliterated. Our government works for us. All those who get paid by the government need to sacrifice along with those who will lose jobs due to the economic factors that follow. It is only right that we dock the pay of every politician now because many will no longer be in power by the time we find out what they did in office in the way of back door deals, which put us at risk to Mother Nature in the future. I believe one months pay ought to wake them up a bit, make them take note of who they work for and why they were elected to serve and show them where we want their heart when they vote to spend our monies. Let’s make them walk the talk. Show me. You think on this. "Lance Winslow" - Online Think Tank forum board.
