Subject: Fwd: The Trump Rule
MAKES SENSE!!!!!!!!
Here is something to not only ponder but to do. I hope you will also
keep it moving.
[This makes way too much sense to be passed. But at least we can make
our wishes known.]
Trump is asking everyone to forward this email to a minimum of 20
people, and to ask each of those to do likewise.
In three days, most people in the United States will have the message.
This is an idea that should be passed around.
The TRUMP Rule
Let's see if congress understands what people pressure is all about.
Salary of retired US Presidents .. . . . .. . . . . .. . $180,000 FOR LIFE.
Salary of House/Senate members .. . . . .. . . . $174,000 FOR LIFE.
This is stupid
Salary of Speaker of the House .. . . . .. . . . . $223,500 FOR LIFE.
This is really stupid
Salary of Majority / Minority Leaders . . .. . . . . $193,400 FOR LIFE. Stupid
Average Salary of a teacher . . .. . . . .. . . . . .. .$40,065
Average Salary of a deployed Soldier . . .. . . .. $38,000
Here's where the cuts should be made!
TRUMP, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of the best quotes
about the debt ceiling:
"I could end the deficit in five minutes," he told CNBC. "You just
pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3%
of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for
re-election".
The 26th Amendment ( granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds )
took only three months and eight days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The
people demanded it. That was in 1971 - before computers, e-mail, cell
phones, etc.
Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took one (1) year
or less to become the law of the land - all because of public
pressure. Trump is asking each addressee to forward this email to a
minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of
those to do likewise.
In three days, most people in The United States of America will have
the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.
Congressional Reform Act of 2017
1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman / woman collects a salary
while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office.
2. Congress (past, present, & future) participates in Social Security.
All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social
Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social
Security system, and Congress participates with the American people.
It may not be used for any other purpose.
3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.
4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional
pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in
the same health care system as the American people.
6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.
7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void
effective 3/1/17. The American people did not make this contract with
Congressmen/women.
Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress
is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen
legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and go
back to work.
If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people, then it will only
take three days for most people in the U.S. to receive the message.
It's time!
THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!
Pass it on. Let's drain the swamp!
