Every politician should have his salary based on the average salary of Americans when computed without the top 5%. If they desire a raise they know what to do and if they can't do anything about our wages they have no business serving us in office. Every politician that is found accepting a bribe including his family is to have all assets confiscated. Any corporation or organization that attempt to bribe, threaten or apply undue influence for selfish interest are to have all assets of the executive board confiscated and the corporation is to be turned over to the government. Should this be a religious institution the Church is to loose all assets and be banned from practicing. Any more suggestions on how to straighten out this mess humorously referred to as a free country? Best ras Mon, 12 Feb 2007 10:19:53 GMT Gnosisquest
