The Workings of Congress

 For too long the tax payers and citizens in this country have been too contented about the workings of Congress and how they operate. Many citizens had no idea that members of Congress could retire with the same pay after only one term, for the rest of their life’s, that they didn't pay into Social Security, that they purposely exempted and excused themselves from many of the laws they have passed (such as being exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment) while ordinarycitizens must live under those laws. The latest is to exempt themselves from the Healthcare Reform that is being considered...in all of its forms. Somehow,that doesn't seem logical or rational. We do  not have an elite that is above the law. They think they are the cream of the crop. We must truly not care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever. The self-serving must stop.  There should be no one above the laws of this country
