The patriots need to regain control!!

And just who are the patriots? 

Ummm, people who love this country and want too see reform that benefits the most people, not the elite few. Sorry, thought that was self-explanatory.

Is that kinda like the tea party?  I thought the republicans where the ones that only looked out for the elite few...and I thought the tea party aligned itself with the elite few supporting republican party...now I'm really confused.

Ok - too perhaps avoid the whole tea party issue, I have a suggestion/question that I have been thinking about for a while.  On the assumption that the country needs better (or some would say "any") management, suppose we start paying $50 million a year for the president's salary and $25 million a year for congressmen/senators.  Would that attract the appropriate folks and would it make any difference?



All I ask is you give it some thought before you respond...

troutboy_II dont mean to step on your question.... but do you really believe that someone capable of raising $500 million free from contributions will be willing to take a pay cut just to be prez?

I think it would turn the polls into a land rush. You know, every poor person voting for themselves.
