Congress are just the hired employees. Who does the reforming is the boss. The citizens are the boss under our form of government, the employees just have done a good job in fooling people they are the boss.

warren buffett doesn't support this. this is stupid.

most of this stuff is just plain wrong. congress DOES participate in social security. they have for 30 years. and congress does pay in to their own retirement plan - the same one that all federal employees have the option to pay into. and they don't get a pension - just the retirement that they choose to pay for. which has to vest, mind you.

if people want better representatives, they need to look in the mirror. people always complain, but then always elect their reps right back in.

are many members of congress part of the problem? absolutely. but so are many voters.
