All the fine work they do and handling of the American people business on a day by day basis. Should Congress vote on a bill like that?

Well Carl
they have essentially created -- for what could be declared in all intents and purposes -- a situation of damned near that already !!
First, they have opted out of the Social Security System --- something that saves them Tons of cash per year !! And, then, seeing that most of these people are in the absolute higher end brackets -- they ALL have received a Major break in Their tax load with the tax cuts and tax dodges put into place by Junior and Co. (with THEIR help -- I might add) !!
Add to this the annual pay raises that they allow THEMSELVES --- that easily cover any taxes that they HAVE paid --- and --- you have a new category of "taxpayer" called the LEVERED taxpayer -- where he or she covers their taxes with pay increases each year !!! Interesting --- huh ??
Besides -- it would be VERY difficult indeed, for them to do their business there -- if any of THEIR money was involved -- because --- as ANY good business person can tell you --- it is MUCH easier to spend the other guys money than it is YOUR OWN !!!!

i doesn't placed it previous him. notwithstanding the purely way he can do that is to have a minimum of 60 Democrats contained in the Senate which with any success ain't gonna take position. also, ought to BO get elected all and sundry making one cent more suitable than 40 2,000 in accordance to three hundred and sixty 5 days pays larger taxes. a lot larger taxes. Exxon/cellular pays 40 9% earnings taxes. Microsoft pays about 29%. So whoever said all agencies pay a similar has no theory what they are speaking about. And at the same time as did those sitting in penitentiary pay taxes besides?

I think that that would make them even more distant from typical Americans. It would change their views on government programs run by American tax dollars. It takes a lot of money for most people in Washington to become politicians and the President, and I don't think rewarding privilege with tax cuts is a good idea.

You are kidding right?
All the fine work they do?
Do you know what congress did yesterday? Nothing. (Look it up) They had the choice to work or take the day off, guess what they picked.
Since they are the ones that make the rules how much tax do you think they pay now?

They sort of already have. Congress opted out of the SS system a long time ago. Therefore they don't pay into it. Wonder why they won't allow us the same choice? Allow us to invest in something w a higher interest rate?

Everyone should be taxed, including churches and Indians. No one should have the authority to make anyone exempt from paying taxes, unless they make everyone exempt.

Military service personnel while on active duty should be exempt from Federal Taxes.

Congress should worry about voting on things that matter first.

No way, not only should they pay taxes but this should never even be a question.

don't give them any ideas. They get plenty of benefits from their positions as it is. As well as being able to vote themselves raises every now and then.
