I JUST DON'T GET IT

Dear Readers:
How is it we continue get the story that the state is broke there is such a short fall of cash and the minute our politicaians get all the taxes that they can get out of the citizens everybody in their cabins gets a raise. I thought the money was suppose to be for the balancing of the budget. The money was to service the state not the personal salaries of the our elected officals. Shouldn't they have a freeze on their salaries? You down size, lay off the pooarer person, cut the salary of the guy on the lower half of the totaling pole and raise the higher ups salaries. Would it not make sense for you to freeze your salary and let the other people with families that need their jobs to pay their bills work? Stop padding your pockets and look out for someone else. I think leaders aught to lead with sacifacies made as great as they call for everybody else to do.
