Scranton, Pennsylvania: where even the mayor is on minimum wage

[spiritguide]

This article addresses some of the changes being forced upon us by the local politician's inability to provide for the common good. Very thought provoking article. IMHO

Why do we spend trillions to build infrastructure in a foreign country and can't afford to repair infrastructure here at home? Elected officials are using our tax dollars for this, did we elect them for this? Lift the smoke folks.

Politicians make me want to spit fire AND nails at them.... It's not that people aren't aware of this going on, it's a matter of what's it going to take to piss them off enough to do something about it.
This batch of politicians in DC will be the last bunch we see with this kind of corruption.... When they're finally done being STUPID, they'll be facing all of us to answer for what they've done....

Mike Bloomberg (Zion Member) and The Mayor of NYC. Supposedly only gets $1 dollar a year. Much less than the PA Mayor. My spidey sense is starting to tingle again.

Hmmmm, so it makes you wonder where DO they get their money if they're not getting it from us....? Isn't it illegal to benefit from their political positions? Could this be that they're into drugs, too? I think my spidey-senses are tingling now, too...

Mulit billionaires like bloomberg shouldn't be in office , no skin in the game. If he does a bad job and gets fired , he won't struggle to pay his electric bill or buy food or stress to find another job before he loses his house. people with money always want us to pay for their ideas , use your own money for your own madness.
