In a December 21, 2009 speech on the Senate floor, Senator Mike Johanns (R-NE) decries the special back-room deals given in exchange for votes for the health care reform bill.
Are senators supposed to secure special deals for their state to get reelected? Do senators merely represent just their state or all Americans? Senators represent all Americans not just their state.
This is unbelieveable!!! Taxpayers from other states should be in an uproar!!! If this Bill was soooooo great it wouldn't take any arm twisting or special favors to get it passed! As a taxpayer from GA I find it dispicable. This is why all these politicians need to be thrown out of office and term limits set to no more than 6 years. Than maybe just maybe they can do the work of the taxpayers of this country! By the way only 60% of Americans pay Federal Income Tax!!!!

It's not that unbelievable, these b@$#@%s have been operating like this for generations.
No more professional politicians! No more 'lifetime' appointments to the Supreme Court either, no more than 9 years.
...and 0% of Americans should pay income tax, ANY income tax. The States can raise all the revenue they need with sales taxes, and fees for services.
If the Federal Government needs money they can get it the way they did before income taxes. Ask for it, and explain exactly what it's for.
