Now, I will ALSO add that, IF the government is looking for ways to save money, great, but is there not a BETTER way to do it, like cutting out actual wasteful spending first? :
*quickie rant*
I agree... I am sick of my tax dollars being spent on politician's fancy houses and cars. Sure, you can look professional, and have a nice house, but do you REALLY need $150,000 a year to do it? I know lawyers who make less than a third of what politicians make, and they live comfortably enough...
(That said, the lawyers I'm referring to are based mainly in Legal Aid or working smaller stuff, like real estate law. I actually worked for a lawyer who, after paying the Bar dues and income taxes, took home less money that I did, and he was still able to live comfortably, albeit a heck of a lot more frugally than I was living...)
