What do you think about congress voting to give themselves raises? I wish I could do that. But in the real world, you are given raises according to performance, by the employers (in this case the american voters) Should the laws be changed so that every raises for public servants be approved by the voters in the general election?

Yes, Every Congressional Raises should be approved by the voters	17
no, they should be allowed to give themselves raises.	2

COMMENTS:
Why doesn't America outsource its politicians? It would be much cheaper if a bunch of Chinese guys in a factory getting half a loaf of bread a day said yes to various lobby groups and secret societies.

What a great question! This has amazed me for years! Reward that has absolutely no bearing on performance or results. Why aren't the self-professed pro-Business people screaming?!?

Every person who *works* for a living is accountable for their performance and is dependent upon some external party to revie wtheir results and set reward ... if any. Except Congress and CEOs.

Change the laws. It's another Through the Looking-Glass situation. These people are rolling in money, have free lifetime healthcare, and loads of other bennies. How on earth are they in a position to make decisions for the rest of us working stiffs? It's like the Pope dictating people's sex lives!

They sure deserve it because those three martinis at lunch are getting quite expensive now because of the rampant price gauging, corporate corruption and high oil prices.

And we ought to toss in a karma system to up- or downrate them based on performance (or LACK THEREOF).
