Isn't it important to keep getting the best people for these jobs? I'm afraid if we cut benefits candidates will become reluctant to spend millions getting through the primaries,and more millions getting elected so they can spend your billions wisely?

Do we want people who would be content with working for less? There have to be perks if million dollar bonuses are not an option. In order to get quality people. Honest, honorable people. People with the interests of their country, the US of A, at heart and not trillion dollar corporations.

And we need healthy representatives. That's obvious. And representatives whose wives are free to supplement their meager income, lobbying and assisting their devoted husbands.

Imagine the kind of government we'd have if we didn't provide what we do? Unlimited income in the form of "honorariums" and campaign donations is nothing when you consider we get these people's souls. Their hearts.

No, I'm sorry. These abused people need, deserve and earn everything we can give them.

(Seeing as how it's me, I would like to add the entire post is bullshit, sarcastic, and evil-spirited.)
