Phony Cuts/Real Taxes

The biggest problem with Government Spending is how much it spends on ITSELF, not with the actual dollar amount of anyones SS, medicaid/care, or unemployment check..

But notice how these are the only things they mention when discussing potential cuts….Grandma gets less, the kids get less…

Hey, I have a novel idea….how about an immediate across the board PAY CUT for EVERY GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE earning more than $100,000 a year?

Make it Progressive, with a mere 3-5 % cut for the 100-150K “middle class” government workers, and really “soak the rich” Federal Employees of 200K and above with a 7-15% pay cut.

Because after all, “I do believe at some point you’ve earned enough (taxpayers) money”

Right?
