Income inequality.......?

Wouldn't you love to see everyone in the White House, Congress and the Senate have to live for 30 days on minimum wage? THEN maybe talk to the "rest of us" about rising cost of living and taxes? I think the majority of them are so busy moving money around like it's Monopoly money they don't really have a clue other than what's on paper in front of them. They need to experience first hand what's really going on in the "real world".

    I think a better solution would be two-fold...

    1. When they want to increase spending, and go over budget, the needed money comes directly out of their paychecks.

    2. Apply the Social Security tax to ALL incomes, since it is not currently applied to those people making over $250,000 per year.
