This is the people's money, and we need to use it on their priorities. Increasing the pay of members of Congress is not their priority.

As taxpayers, we pay our elected officials to serve the people and protect our state and our interests.

One of the most lethal mistakes a public official can make is raising taxes and not paying your own.

If Congress is unable to do its job and pass a federal budget, then I do not believe we should receive a salary.

The problem is government spends too much. So raising taxes is what politicians do, instead of reducing spending.

The American taxpayers are a powerful force. They don't want their taxes raised.

If Americans want to see results instead of rhetoric, if taxpayers would like solutions instead of sound bites, and hard work instead of horse trading, I suggest you take a short look, and it won't take much longer, at the accomplishments of this Congress.

Congress seems to thrive on breaking promises and passing unfunded mandates down to local government. It's really just a matter of priorities.

Before Congress cuts funding for Head Start, Social Security, and financial aid for college, we have got to make sure that large, profitable corporations are paying their fair share of taxes.

The taxpayers deserve accountability.
