Mad Claire McCaskill Plays By Different Rules Than What She Prescribes

Yesterday, on the Senate floor, Claire McCaskill demanded private corporations pay their CEOs what Claire thinks they should be paid. That's right, Claire's power has gone to her head, and she now believes she should be telling corporations what they should pay their employees, specifically they shouldn't be making more than her boy crush, Barack, makes.

"I've been mad for a while," said McCaskill. "When we passed the initial half of the TARP money, [there were] rumors about bonuses, the fact that too many of these guys were holding onto the jobs even though they were running these companies into the ground. Reality didn't seem to be the order of the day."

Why is it that Claire and her Democrats can run this country into the ground receiving kickbacks from many of these same companies they complain about and she never once gets upset enough about it to say anything? I didn't read about Claire getting mad at Barney Frank and other Democrats for running Fannie and Freddie into the ground. McCaskill makes $174,000 as a US Senator, but that's small change compared to the kickbacks she has received from pro-abortion groups. According to Citizenlink.com, McCaskill has received nearly a million dollars from this lobbying group alone. You now other lobbyist, including lobbyist representing many of these corporations have probably put money in McCaskill's pocket sometime during her brief career, and I am working to make it brief, in the Senate.

It comes down to this. McCaskill gets to vote for her own pay increases. Recently, McCaskill and Congress agreed to raise Congressional expense accounts from $30,000 to $90,000 a year, and that's on top of their salaries and the lobbyist bonuses (kickbacks). The voters don't get a say in it, but McCaskill thinks she should have a say in what private corporations pay their employees. That's arrogance Claire, plain and simple. Knowing that you really don't have a say in Congressional pay raises, do you want members of Congress like Claire McCaskill having a say in what you make? Sure it might be CEOs today, but whose to say she won't take it further once the power goes to her head. One day she might be telling you that you are making too much. Think about that.
