Hello,

I invite them to quit and seek employment in a more lucrative field.

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." -- William Casey, Reagan's presidential campaign manager & CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)

Man, I'll bet it IS really hard to get by on $174,000/yr for working 3 days a week when you only get a month or two off for breaks and holidays. I'm not sure I could manage.

With statements like these, it's probably a wonder there aren't MORE people shooting at them.

America loves a winner!

It's a tough job. Somebody has to do it!

I'll trade with them for a week or two no prob... or permanently... See how they survive on my salary and hours.

The competition in ORGANIZED Crime makes it a job where they'd have to work too hard.

NewOld, good one!

Artcat, I don't think we've met; if not, welcome to RWED, and watch out! This is the land of snakes, so you need to either be careful where you tread, wear thick boots, or have some antivenom handy!

I remember that idiocy real clearly, by the way, and shook my head in astonishment when that idiot said what he did.

Bunch of spoiled brats, if you ask me, and they won't STOP being that, partly because when they DO leave the legislature, so many of them go on to work in the private sector making jucy salaries as lobbiests, etc. Too bad something can't be done to teach them about REAL jobs!

I'm not going to deny that it would be a stressful job, no matter what you do someone will hate you. But lots of jobs are hard in various ways and those other people don't make that much money.

Ah, what I could do with 174 thousand dollars a year ...
