Hey Gitzo--check out my updated profile. I have now revealed as much about myself as you have revealed about yourself.
Looking forward to the "attitude adjustment" you promised.
Thats right, tough guy. I'm calling your bluff. Put up or shut up.

Agreed, what other "employees" give themselves pay raises and benefits. Salaries of politicians should be commensurate with their performance.
They should also be given raises by the people they work for. Not vote them selves raises.

I would never pay politicians in the first place! They should support themselves in the economy that we all must work within. I would agree to an "expense account" for an office, close to their homes. They need to forget about living lavishly in Washington at taxpayers expense.
No limo, no benefits, no lifetime retirement. They can provide that for themselves like every other American. Cut-off these "elite bloodsuckers" from the public trough. If that happened, maybe we would get Patriots, instead of criminal opportunists to run government. If there is no opportunity "to steal vast amounts of wealth from the taxpayers" the crooks will not shun government work.

Well this has been an experience. I have ben subjected to all kinds of vile insults and vulgarity, including this rather explicit threat noted above.
My sin? Why having the gall to post a link to the actual law that you right wing cretins are all worked up about. The challenge was prove me wrong. Cite the statute, prove me wrong. Yet no one took up this simple challenge. I posted a link to the actual law, but I am the one who is the liar, and have credibility problems.
This proves conclusively that collectively, you have no interest in facts, or truth. It also proves that you rarely get out of the right-wing echo chamber and you are quite unaccustomed to encountering anyone who may disagree with you.
I wonder if you act like this in real life, or do you save this fact free vulgarity to a forum like this, where you can spout all the bullshit and threats without any real consequences. Such courage.
It has been a lot of fun whipping you hate-mongering bullshit artists into hysteria with nothing more than a link to the actual law that none of you know anything about. The fact is, is that none you you are even worth insulting. To use a literary reference that I am sure that you also know nothing about--the lot of you are full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. Look up the reference cretins-it could do you some good. Or, stay in your little right wing bubble where facts cannot enter. Continue to howl at the moon. I care not.
My advice, read a book. I am sure you can find one somewhere.
Although it has been fun, none of you come close to being a worthwhile opponent. I will try to find intelligent life elsewhere. I'm out.

Just wondering, what kind of insurance do members of Congress have now? Is there any reason to believe that they would not continue with this insurance? Why would they need to get insurance from the exchanges?

This is incorrect, congress is NOT treated like everyone else. And, employers can't afford to pay for obammiecare for their employees. Why do you think employers are demoting everyone to part-time workers. The employees have no say in the matter. "Paying the penalty" for not having healthcare is the solution created by government.
Where did we get this idea that you must "pay government NOT to have something?"

That is the million dollar question. I'm still not seeing how ANYONE with brains could agree with this "penalty".

From Minuteman News:
"Arguing federal workers should not get special treatment, Rand Paul says he does not want taxpayers subsidizing the personal health care plans of any federal employee including Chief Justice John Roberts anymore.
With some in Congress arguing lawmakers and their staff should not get subsidies to cover their health insurance as President Obamas health care law goes into effect, the Republican senator from Kentucky told The Daily Caller on Sunday that hes going to start pushing a constitutional amendment that goes even further.
Pauls proposal outlawing any special exemptions for government employees would mean all federal workers would have to purchase health insurance on the new Obamacare exchanges instead of getting taxpayer-funded subsidies. Some critics say those subsidies amount to special treatment. The Obamacare health insurance exchange opens Oct 1.
My amendment says basically that everybody including Justice Roberts who seems to be such a fan of Obamacare gets it too, Paul told TheDC by phone on Sunday....
