Vote yourself get rich!

It's Chinese New Year! Gung Hei Faht choi. Wouldn't it be awesome if you could vote yourself a higher salary? Well that's what our government here in Massachusetts is trying (and will be able) to do.
Governor Baker says he'll veto, but they have veto proof majorities.... so... now what.

I saw a lot of outrage and protests and nice speeches about protection and rights. And meanwhile this was in the works. Power to the people against the Federal Government at the local level while the State is planning on taking more of your money and putting it to their salaries... for what? And if Baker hadn't came out and said that he would veto it... would anyone have reported or even know about it?

That is something local, relevant and  important that we should march on beacon hill for. And by the way.....we voted these people into office and we can vote them out. Here's the roll call.

I'm pretty most of these people I don't care about. But I'm disappointed in my Senator for sure. Not that it's in the news you will hear excuses. You know what? In this country you don't need a revolution do get everyone out. The people just have to stand up and vote.

I see a lot of things against Trump and on my Facebook feed and in my neighborhood. Power to you for exerting your constitutional right to peaceful protest. But remember, a lot of the people getting up there and making pretty speeches just tried to rob you.

Don't let them get away with it next November. And see if your friendly smiling faced Senator that shows up to all your community events thought that it was important that they make a law that you pay them more because they deserve it. What is their interest in that? Serving you? or Serving themselves. The point of Democracy (though it no longer works like this) is that the people rule and the people get a turn and the representative is just that. a Representative. Not an aristocratic oligarchy.

Protesting is nice and speeches are nice and saying the right things about the right issues are nice. But by that test, why shouldn't you or any willing college grad or retiree be Senator or Rep? or 35k vs. (which is decent for me) And if you need more money to support your family, get a nicer paying job in the private sector. Thank you for your service. The people give you a nice recommendation because it is supposed to be US ruling right?


Right?

Organize now to do something about this in November.
