A lesson to learn
A lesson to learn! Our Senators and Congressmen and women need some definite lessons in every day living. They do not have a clue the life style of the average Joe, nor do they have a clue what it is like not knowing where the next meal will appear, how to get to work, how to pay the electric and water bills, and car, clothes, childcare and health insurance. These people who we elected need to return to the basics of economics and take a month or two living in the shoes who they represent or are in this situation, things would be different.

Yep, Georgie needs to live among the poor, he may have an awakening! He needs to have an awakening.

This is why I respect Ted Kennedy, he comes from a family that has everything, yet he understands all people. He did commit some transgressions, yet he is still able to reach out. He has money, yet understands those who don't have anything. That is a gift.

1. Not only Ted Kennedy understands,
but so did John and Robert Kennedy. Apparently their parents instilled some values in them.

2. All politicians should be required
to live on minimum wage for 1 year.

Then let them keep it at $5.15

Remember the fad of judges awhile back? They were sentencing slumlords to live in their own apartment buildings. Same idea.

3. ..
And yet the Bushy's keep screaming that lower taxes, mean better economy, and when companys get rich, they'll give there employee's raises.

Makes you want to smash your head on something..
