Revamp the pay for federal elected officials
This is a big business that the government is running and as of late, they are using our money to take over banks, insurance companies and God only knows what else we the people will own by the time they are done. The amazing thing is, they allowed this to happen to us. Where did the visionaries go? The few in Washington that can look LOGICALLY into the future and know that if don't make bold changes now, this current credit crisis will be mild compared to what is coming. The complete bankrupting of the United States. Maybe this idea is born from the anger I feel right now. It just doesn't seem fair to me that other Americans are losing their homes, jobs, health insurance and more because of Capitol Hill. No, I did not come up with this because I am one that has lost a home or job...yet, I am just tired of seeing we the people being lead around by the nose by a federal government that makes wild promises and delivers hardship and pain.
HOW ABOUT THIS?
Since we have these new elected CEO's and board members that we have voted in, I suggest that we pay them a salary equal to the amount that they are getting now, less what ever percentage they are losing money for us the shareholders. In other words, if the budget deficit is 8% higher than the revenue, the leaders get 92% of their pay, as well as 92% of their benefit packages, office
allowances etc. This business that they have put us in is not being run in our best interest. We the shareholders need to do something to motivate this board and CEO to start putting us first.
Sounds like a great plan to me. Aren't you tired of being the one that loses your job when Washington is incompetent? How about having your health benefits cut or lost altogether because those in Washington can't figure out that if you allow big business to get out of hand, they will screw the little guy to make more money. Hello big oil and more. Just look at the bailout bill for more of the guilty parties.
Obviously, we are wrong when talking about allowing the open market to work itself out. The big businesses in this country, when there is no regulation in effect, will only worry about the bottom line and the bottom line is sure as hell not another human being.
