You're the Boss!

This automatic pay raise for congress just makes me sick. Have you seen the approval ratings for these bafoons? If you thought the chimp was unpopular check out the numbers for our congressional morons. Meanwhile America's working poor are struggling to put bread on the table working their asses off for $5.15 an hour!

If we cared as much about the least among us--as Jesus taught--as we do the wealthy, minimum wage would also be adjusted for cost of living and would be somewhere north of $12 an hour. Still not a lot of money, but it would help.

Most of us will never know what it's like to do such a horrible job and get a pay raise. If I get a 22% approval rating from my boss, I will need to start looking for another job.

We're the boss here, folks. And if you check out the polls you'll notice that all-time low goes back to when the dems were sucking badly in 1994. So follow along now. They sucked and we brought in the republicans--well, about 15% of the electorate did anyway--and they suck. Now if you're not paying attention you might just vote back in the idiots who sucked in 1994. What is this a ping pong match? It's time to get behind a third party. I don't care which party you choose, but let's dump the republicans and democrats. Can we, please?
