ipiratemedia Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Happy New Year to everyone. My resolutions for 2020 is to be nice and play nice. Cut down on my Videos and get involved in helping those in need. Regardless of their status. A philanthropist, without the fame. My main goal is to pressure the Gov't. For those few who slept through class, or have no idea how much a Congress Politician makes or benefits. (both parties} This is clearly an amazing idea that must be passed around. My disagreement and opinion. I Google and cross reference everything I posted. Let's see if congress understands what people pressure is all about. Salary of retired US Presidents .. . . . . $180,000 FOR LIFE. Salary of House/Senate members .. . . $174,000 FOR LIFE This is stupid Salary of Speaker of the House .. . . . . $223,500 FOR LIFE. This is really stupid Salary of Majority / Minority Leaders . . $193,400 FOR LIFE. Average Salary of a teacher . . .. . . . .. . . . . .. .$40,065 Average Salary of a deployed Soldier . . .. . . .. $38,000 Here's where the cuts should be made! Congressional Reform Act of 2017 1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman / woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office. 2. Congress (past, present, & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose. 3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do. 4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%. 5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people. 6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people. 7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective immediately. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and go back to work. After all, one becomes a millionaire after leaving office, and No one is talking about it. FACT: Debt ceiling: If they pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election. Makes perfect sense to me. The 26th Amendment ( granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds ) took only three months and eight days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971 - before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc. Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took one (1) year or less to become the law of the land - all because of public pressure. The people in America will hopefully get the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG 150 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 The general populous would never research anything like this. It has nothing to do with the BBC sucking Karpigians or some hood rat that calls him/herself a musician. The social media platforms have the country brainwashed into believing the government is good and is here to help them. The Internet, social media and the lame-stream media have all conditioned the masses to follow them right off of the edge of the cliff into the abyss. I agree, there is no reason that the country should have to support these losers once they are booted from office. If you or I lost our jobs, we had better get another real quick or we'd be living under a bridge somewhere. The government of the U.S., hasn't been by the people, or for the people for decades. Anyone watch the State of Virginia? Pure unconstitutional socialism at it's finest. It looks like another Civil War is looming on the horizon. Better get out and buy another stockpile of ammunition from your local gun store. And don't forget to patronize your local range. One shot, one kill is going to be needed to secure your armaments. Once your protection is lost, the city dwelling scumbags are coming to take everything that you have and you won't be able to do shit about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyFatboy Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 My resolution for 2020 is to see how many CC members I can get out of their chairs and put RLC aside and enjoy life. We only have one life to live and if you choose to do it in front of a computer screen, your health is going to deteriorate without you even knowing it until it's to late. My challenge to everyone on the forum is to cut your RLC time in half for the year 2020. Get out of your chairs and go visit your friends, go for a walk in a park near you, go see a movie with someone you love, go to a national park and take in the beauty, go and say hi to someone that doesn't even think you exist anymore. The bottom line is to spend more time being active instead of dead time in a chair. Happy New Year to everyone, I hope you all make a change to prolong the one life you have left!! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Harley for wishing us well, but you should perhaps already apply these advices to yourself, right? because you're wasting a lot of time coming to CC, and meanwhile you're just as much on a computer screen, you don't walk in a public park to watch the birds fly, and you don't say hello to people that you meet It may be time to stop giving advice to people but to apply it ourselves I am not saying that you are a bad advice person but if people come on CC, RLC, VHTV or other it is good because there is a lack somewhere in their life and that they need it, just like you need to come all the time on the forum and your only problem is that you do not have legitimacy and objectivity compared to the participants of RLC or even of RLC, because you are based on data which are already at the start completely erroneous or fragmented depending on who you get them from I would like for this year, that people stop judging others and let people do what they want, and more importantly, I do not think that people watching people live on the net , be the best people to be able to judge what they're doing best wishes everyone and happy new year 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave 27 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 My resolution for 2020 is to continue using CC as a tool to befriend,exchange info,have fun,learn and listen to other people,to not criticise people and situations I know absolutely nothing about,but most of all still keep my health,personal life,family and friends as strictly my number one priority. To any members who have"problems "I hope you receive the assistance you require.
