This is beyond virtue signaling. Point me to a single politician that actually relies on their government salary. They ALL collect money from all manner of grifting, kickbacks, insider trading, jews and all manner of corruption.
Now get rid of the pension and make them invest in a 401k like the citizens
401k
Oh, that must be one of those useless fucking things that kikes continually wipe out with (((iNflAtiOn))) and (((taxes))) to pay for the jew welfare state.
And healthcare, security, ability to take money from lobbyists, any sort of extra methods to make money off of tax payers. All votes are required to be present and anyone pushing anything slightly unconstitutional should be hung from the neck.
This is a distraction b/c they're not gonna ban the insider trading they get up to.
Who needs a paycheck when you are a multi millionaire because of insider trading and intentional market manipulation?
Banning paychecks is useless. They all get major money from all the AIPAC corruption and insider trading.
Ban them from leaving the Capitol or at least leaving DC. Preferably ban them from leaving the chambers until they fix shit. Post National Guard to enforce the egress ban. Let them only get fast food (goyslop) deliveries and no changes of clothing. Basically, place them under house arrest. It's far less a denial of their rights than what they did to J6 grannies and jewflu dissidents. Fuck all yall senators.
Clear out a couple of old military barracks. Require them to live there in open-dorm style housing with ZERO amenities (no tv, no games, no calling home, friends, family, etc). You get the idea.
Do your fucking job or be "locked up" until you do.
Your terms are acceptable. Being a representative was supposed to be an honorable temporary duty and not a life long grift.
It should be illegal to be a "career politician". It was never intended for this nation but look where we are today. Bad times man. Bad times.
No, this is just more bullshit political theater from the uni-party.
Isn't this the same as any other gubbmint employee? They get "paid" after the shutdown?
Take those checks away completely, then I'll pay attention.
Yeah. Good point. Not only do they not get paid while it is shut down. They don't get "back checks" for the entire time it was shut down. Otherwise they will just keep it shut down anyway. They are all millionaires and don't need it.
Like this would actually happen. If anything they'll create some "fund" that will give them 2x their pay check.
Surely it doesn't touch their healthcare or their campaign slush funds.
