A Letter to Senator Richard Burr

A Letter to Senator Richard Burr


An Excerpt from the Letter to Senator Burr - What a great idea Senator!!

Sacrifice for the country, why don’t we start with lowering the salaries of the Senate and House members, along with the bureaucrats that feed at the public trough and reduce the number of people working for each politician.

By building a subsidized public housing complex with 535 units, Senators and Representatives could all live in one area and that would eliminate the need for a second residence in the Washington, DC metro area and your salaries could be lowered substantially without any hardship.

Living together in a housing complex would also make it easier for the Senators and Representatives to use public transportation to get back and forth to work which would also slash gasoline consumption, exhaust pollution and help with the traffic on and within the beltway area. Living in clean subsidized public housing is certainly much better than the tents and shelters are troops must reside in while serving in Afghanistan and Iraq and think what an example Congress would be setting for the rest of the nation.
