Here's an idea; Any member of Congress who votes AGAINST the increase of minimum wage, should NOT get a raise in salary for that year. If that were a clause in the vote, I'm certain that the Congresmen who voted AGAINST the increase on minimum wage would have a change of heart the next time the porposition arises. And because many of them who've repeatedly voted AGAINST it time after time, when they had nothing to lose personally, there should be another clause that prohibits those who voted against the minimum wage increase in the past, from recieving a pay raise/salary raise for the same amount of years in a row that they voted against the minimum wage increase. A retroactive law, is a spectacular way to spook those republicans into voting honestly and for the PEOPLE of the USA and their best interest and the best interest for the Country at large. Sure it this wouldn't make them honest people, who ACTUALLY cared about people(other than themselves), but at least this would pressure them to VOTE like they should....or at least it would cost corporations a bigger payoff to keep those republicans voting against increasing the National minimum wage to make up for their lack of salary increase. Not that those republicans really rely on their legal salary anyway as it is. Some of them come into the senate or some other public office with a total asset, savings, stocks, bonds, net worth of say $ 500,000 and four years later they have a total asset/net worth of
$8,000,000 million dollars, while under a $75-100K a year salary. Not to mention their brother, son and daughters are sponsored by Boeing and have mysteriously attained part ownership in casinos, sports teams and other companies whom their family member in public office, happens to be closely affiliated to since in office and who just happens to vote in those companies behalf, even though their vote is in conflict and destructive to the people who live in his/her district, to all of the American people and to America at large, which at times will continue to damage the US economy, Homeland Security and even oour troops/CIA undercover agents and their affiliates and operations, our Allies and our hard earned reputation (which MANY Americans have sacraficed their lives to establish over years and years) all destroyed for somtimes years to come, ALL for one man/womans selfish greed. It's just discusting, sick and deeply disturbing and sad and it MUST be stopped. We must pass legislative laws that clearly define and create sole accountability for each and every single action taken. Also, we must make all actions and decisions require a detailed explanation with only ONE single person accountable for each decision/action taken. Furthermore, each public seat of office must have very precise, clear, concise and stirct guidelines of the political hiearchy,exact and entire job duties and requirements, and the legally binding promises and obligations to the people, economy and to the land and their best interest upon taking each specific public office under oath, none of which shall impede or contradict those promises and no vote/action/plan/objective etc. shall be in the personal interest of the public official themself and/or their family, friends, associates, constituents(party members)or any business or corporation unless that vote/action/decision/plan best serves and is clearly the most beneficial of ALL and ANY other possible choices, that best benefits and serves the people, economy, and land of that of which that specific public office seat/position serves, as legally due as promised and sworn under oath upon being elected and accepting that such public office position. Also, very clear and concise guidelines as to what, when, where, who, why, how, exactly which activity/vote/choice/plan etc. taken by that official shall result in an immediate and unquestionable removal from office and, or arrest and legal action/charge against each official, of which shall not have the luxary of any type of relief and/or aquittal from ANY person/persons/grroup/Judge/ Public official or even by the President/ Vice President. The legal penalties shall be cleary distinguised for each offense in every degree and/or amount for every person of each specific public office position, with which the jury shall be the people of which that public official represents and took a legal oath to perform and act in the best interest for, which shall be finally determined by the represented peoples votes on his/her verdict AND due penalty/Jail time, set within the specific outlined guidelines set for each offensive charge(s) and it's legal penalty range set for each penalty and it's amount/degree/severity. Once each and every single public official positions ENTIRE set of legal abilities, duties, demands, and the elected officials specific promises sworn to achieve and/or aim for when swaring in to office and all of the details of the legal consequences as mentioned above, these EXACT guidelines,duties, etc. should be made into an official United States politics public office computer program. This way, each and every action/vote/decision/plan/deal/transaction etc. would require to be entered into a US political public office computer, with the politicians name and personal security code and finger print needed to enter/ take official action on each and every/ANY decision/action/vote/plan etc. in order for every single action to materialize. The US political public official computer program will NOT be accepted/be activated if the attempted action/vote/plan/ etc. is not within the exact guidlines of the officials job duties or if the attempted vote/action/plan etc. is not in accordance with the officials promises to the people or not an obvious best choice/interest for the people and the land(safety,economically,future/growth/promised plans for the area or people etc.) in which that specific officials representing. Also, every action/vote/choice etc. that is acceptaed and is made by the official, is made records of and disbursed to a variety of computer hard drives such as the FBI, and many other, as well as every officials records of every official is made available for every person to have access to and view at any and all times, including each public officials financial records, assets, trips, stocks, bonds, properties, estates etc. while that official is in office and the FBI, NSA, CIA etc. has access to ALL financial records/transactions/properties/bonds/stocks etc. for the rest of every past and/or present officials lifetime at their unannounced and free will and also the officials entire will.
Sorry about the spelling, poor grammer, run on sentences and the length of this, but I had to get this out and I'm super exausted.
