Don't give politicians premium benefits

I have to say that it is about time the U.S. citizens have their rights protected. The politicians and their staffs are overpaid and receive bonuses beyond reasonable lengths. I propose that all people paid with tax dollars get Social Security and Medicare for their retirement.

No more premier programs for the elite. There should be no exceptions. Politicians, their staffs, police, firefighters, teachers etc. All people hired by us get the same retirement as the owners of this country get.

We send a representative to Washington, they serve one term and get a pension for life. No more. The employee should not be rewarded with premium programs while the rest of the country's citizens have to scrape up more taxes and very little COLAs.

If someone does not like it, I am sure we will find people to take their place.
