MEMO: People who earn more than $250,000 yearly


When a few of our nation's politicians speak (disdainfully) of those people earning more than $250,000 a year, they forget about themselves, who also make considerably more than that gargantuan amount.

Wouldn't the nation be better-off if these people were paid $20-35 per hour (since they are professionals) for their services? Or, if they all took a patriotic pay cut of 66 %? If that were to happen; Then, wouldn't that sound more like representative government?

Let's not forget the benefits, and the generous retirement plans these offices provide.

What color is your parachute?

Accountability Autumn Follows “Recovery” Summer

We are at the end of Recovery Summer and beginning of Accountability Autumn. Our incumbent congressman, Jim Himes, is running for re-election in a tough economic and political climate for incumbents with his voting record. Across the country, incumbents such as Himes are downplaying their votes for the stimulus, Obamacare, and record deficits. While Congressman Himes may be vulnerable this year, the 2010 election may also be a great opportunity for him if he is able to survive. That is because 2010 will be as bad as it gets for Himes in terms of accountability. If he can get a majority of voters to accept the status quo, then he will be practically invulnerable in future elections. Generally, incumbents face their toughest re-election battle after their freshman term. In this case, Himes’ first term ends amidst 10% unemployment. Two out of three voters in his district under the belief that Washington is on the wrong track. If he can overcome those odds, then he can do anything –- set aside his campaign season moderation and vote how he pleases in the future. If Himes can win this election, then Accountability Autumn may become as big a failure as Recovery Summer. So the question before the voters is whether or not the status quo is good enough. Because there may not be another chance at an Accountability Autumn like this one.
