They want to raise taxes for us to pay for SS, health Care, and gasoline, roads, bridges. Why don't they cut back on their perks, expenses, all this PORK can be cut. Instead of us giving why don't they give a little.

What’s another tax hike for the children and the working class?
To: george76
Congressman Gregory Meeks was recently seen waiting for Congressman John Conyers to step out of Meeks' Lexus LS460, which Meeks leases for $998 per month. If you're going to stick the taxpayers with the tab, at least lease a domestic luxury car and not an import. Jerks.

What a bunch of BS..... It’s no wonder they retire wealthy on our dime. This is a blog post for my blog but most likely the liberal hacks will defend it.

No wonder that Congress does not see the need to drill for oil nor allow permits for nuclear power plants nor new refineries.

The worst part of things like this is that even when exposed, there's nothing we, the people can do about it.
So frustrating!

The trough-swiller actually said his constituents (who are paying his gas and upkeep bills) WANT to see him in a luxury car..............while taxpayers drive around in sub-compacts trying to save on gas and repairs.

CBS 2 HD: How would you answer those people who say, Well, but its taxpayer money. Instead of $700 a month, could you find something for, say, $300 a month?
Rangel: I could probably find something for
one of those red cars and then I think my constituents would say, With all the money that he gets, this is the respect he shows us?
” It really pleases me that (my constituents) appreciate driving in a comfortable car, especially the senior citizens, Rangel said.

a former congressman told me that years ago members of congress didnt have to pay withholding taxes!
To: george76
That little blonde bimbo on Fox and Friends, (the one with her skirt, on a daily basis, halfway up her fat thighs) kept telling the viewers this morning that they had a feature story coming shortly about congress critters and these high end car lease stories “benies”. Funny they never got around to it. Instead we got to listen to some piano playing country music “star” for the last five minutes of this morning’s show.

They also have their own retirement plans ( paid by us taxpayers ) because they know that social security is a joke.
Which is also why they see little urgency in fixing social security.

Fox has gotten much worse.
Their talking heads are very silly.
We rarely watch it now.
