I just read that John Kerry was also going to contribute 5% of his 180k or so government salary to join in solidarity with other government workers. This just keeps getting more hilarious.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Ticket punch your way to a good committee assignment and put in a few years there - wait out the conflict year, and you have a lifetime 7 figure a year income out on the beltway if you want it. Or go into lobbying back in your home state. Congress is ****ing lucrative, and you have staff who does all the goddamned work for you. 90+% of Congressmen (both Reps and Senators) have no ****ing idea of the full contents of the bills they nominally originate, let alone vote on.A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.

Two, the guy is wealthy to begin with. His sacrifice will have absolutely no impact on his life style at all.
The same can't be said for the rest of the government workers that are being told to make the sacrifice.
When all of congress joins the fun, I'll take it a bit more seriously.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Originally posted by MrFun View PostYou think Kerry and others should just give away one hundred percent of their salary then? Would you do that?
If they really wanted to show solidarity with the lesser government employees, they could just SIMPLY contribute to the effort for a better budget so the workers wouldn't have to take a cut in the first place.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit.

No, I just think they shouldn't be making a big deal about it. If they did it privately I would give them their due, but doing it publicly is just a cheap PR event.
