I saw enough of this in the military, when they would not pass a pay raise for us or only give us scraps, and then vote in a high pay raise for themselves. As far as I feel on it, they should only be paid for the hours they actually work, have to spend their money for their election campains, and only be allowed to serve two terms. As to the IRS, yes we should have a fixed national sales tax, and no income tax, and less applied towards SS, and it to be locked so that those in power can't put their hands on our money. SS is a joke, if you make enough money to pay off your benefits in less than one year, your still not going to get back what you pay into it. SS max's out at 5K a year, so if you max out in a six month period, SS stops being taken out, and regardless of what you put in, you'll only get so much when your old enough to draw.</blockquote>
