Wouldn't it be interesting
Posted: Sep 5, 2012
if one or both presidential candidates stated that if elected, they would not receive their presidential salary as the economy was still not up to snuff? I doubt either one would do that but neither one needs that money. The Romneys and the Obamas are both well off.

That is a thought - Trigger Happy
[ In Reply To ..]but I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for that announcement from either candidate.
I saw this question asked of.... - ...the Romneys. (s/m)
[ In Reply To ..]I can't remember now which interviewer. They were walking and talking to the interviewer. Gosh, I can't even remember now if it was a "he" or "she"!!! (That's what this election is doing to my brain--LOL.) Anyway, he/she said to Mitt: "Governor, you didn't take a salary for your work on the Olympics, and you didn't take a salary for your term as governor of Massachusetts...." and Ann jumped in and said, "I know where you're going with this!!!" It was a funny moment, and I'm favorably impressed that Romney turned down those salaries; but in this interview, on that implied question, he wouldn't say that he would not accept the presidential salary. It WOULD be interesting to know, eh?
I think the Clintons are the only First Family in recent memory who actually NEEDED the income....LOL. I do think the First Family has to pay for their food, clothing, and household expenses, if I'm not mistaken. No amount of money is enough to compensate for the job, IMO; but I'd like to see all politicians' lifelong retirement plans done away with. Serve for a while (with fair pay), and then get back to the normal life and income (with the attendant retirement plan) that you would've had before. Presidents might have to be an exception since they would have a hard time going back to other occupations....but Senators and Congress members are waaaay overpaid and overcompensated in the way of lifelong benefits. There would be an enormous benefit to their image with the American people if they would vote for some changes to all that.
Congress and VP, too! - (no message)

Just who was the one who signed Obamacare and companies started going to part-time or less than 30 hours a week so they wouldn't have to give anyone insurance.
