Why Congress Is About To Get A Raise???

Unless they vote against it, Congress will get a pay raise in January! I oppose giving Congress a pay raise this year because Congress has done nothing to help their constituents, the American people. In fact, Congress has overseen the worst economic collapse in American history. Congress has taken away worker rights, destroyed pensions, turned health care into a rich-boy piggy bank, and allowed credit card companies to legally steal. Then, Congress bailed out the banking industry, whose unethical and irresponsible behavior helped kill our economy. Finally, Congress, showing their true colors, refused to rescue an industry that employs millions of Americans! Congress continues trying to displace American workers with criminal ILLEGAL immigrants and fraudulent H1-B's. Congress does not need a pay raise from the American taxpayer. No doubt they will get one from their corporate bosses.

Dear Congress,

So, Detroit CEO's are coming to you with a new plan which will apparently include more union concessions? Why in the world would the workers need to give up ANYMORE? Where are the CEO concessions? When do the billionaires start paying for their own mistakes?

I've had it with a Congress that does not support the American worker. You people, from BOTH parties, have destroyed American labor in an attempt to legalize slavery. You have spent years trying to destroy the middle class while creating a CEO good ol' boy club that rakes in 450 times the income of their lowest paid worker. How is this acceptable?

You gave the financial "industry" 700 billion dollars, with questionable results, and now you quibble over 25 billion until the middle class makes concessions? I guess that makes it pretty clear who YOU work for! Remember this come election time.

By the way, to my Democratic representative; I have come to the conclusion that your party is worse for labor than Republicans. Not only do you fail to support unions, but you continue trying to import cheap foreign labor. You need to wake up and remember who and what you are supposed to represent!
