Important questions for politicians today

Isn’t it strange? Our taxes go up, the prices we pay go up, but our paychecks . . . don’t. And isn’t it strange how all these changes are being made by people who haven’t a clue as to the effect of these increases? Why is it that people who do not live our lives make descions for our lives? And the people whose incomes are well above ours want to take more away from us and it never seems to affect them?

Why is it that those same people want to take away Social Security, want to have our pensions lowered or taken away, and yet none of those changes affects them? Their pensions are absurd!

When will all these very important changes that are made “for the people” be made “by the people,” not politicians? They haven’t a clue, nor do they care, how we are affected or if we can even make it. And all this is so we can pay the debt of their state or their country. Who made all these debts? Us? I don’t think so. Lower their income and/or lower their pension and watch the debt disappear.
