Demand Poiliticians Take Concessions Now!

Who aside from me is fed up with the take , take, take attitude of Canadian Politicians. Are they immune to the current wave of concessions that are being demanded in the private sector? Perhaps it is time, that we as Canadian Taxpayers, demanded concessions on their part. More working days in Parliament, Less paid Holidays, restricted expense allowances and most importantly, no more full pensions after less than 10 years in office. Where else does that happen? Let them work 30 + years like everyone else to be eligible for a pension. Better yet, take the pension away, let them prepare for retirement during their working years like everyone else. Then they will know what the real world is like. Like an ex Prime Minister used to say back in the 80's, "time for everyone to tighten their belt". Little did we know he would be accused of lining his pockets at the same time.

Time For Concessions from Politicians

It seems that everyone is demanding concessions from the private sector, well, how about from Politicians? Reducing their benefits and their salaries would certainly make it easier on Canadian Taxpayers during these troubling times. Reduce their holidays, extend the number of work days, reduce allowable expenses to start. Then, reduce their salaries to match those of the politicians in Asia. While we are at it, we should demand that they work a minimum of 30 years in Government before they can collect a full pension from the Canadian taxpayer. Who do you know outside of Politics gets a full pension after 8 years? Come on everybody, lets demand a restructuring of the political salaries and benefit packages to match those of the typical Canadian Family, then we can welcome them back to the real world.
