Well Congress is back from their 6 week vacation.

Just got back and announced that they have only 40 more in session days left till the end of the year. When do you think the people will get tired of this shit.? How about pay Congress for the days they are in session. They do this in Florida. How about no health insurance for life. How about a pension based on number of years in service. No more full pensions. How about term limits. Two terms just like the president.

We can stop the social security money problem.

Currently this year, once a worker reaches 132,900 dollars in earnings they do not pay anymore SS taxes. This also favors the rich so why don`t they tax every dollar earned at the current rate. The rich cannot claim you raised their taxes because they pay the same as what everyone does.

Make congress look pictures of bodies after they were shot with an assault rifle.

Make these people look at photos of shooting victims bodies and see what assault weapon does to it`s target. Lock the doors and make them see the autopsy photos of the kids in the school shooting in Connecticut. Show them the exit wounds or what a head looks like after being shot. If this makes them puke at their desks, than maybe, just maybe, they will do something to stop this insanity.
