The poor get poorer

Washington, Congress and our lawmakers make me sick, knowing how bad our economy is. Two million jobs lost, unemployment is at its worst and Congress members are giving themselves a raise. They are already overpaid while poverty is at its worst.

Something is wrong. We should have the say about whether Congress gets a raise.

Bush is saving jobs? One has to be crazy to want four more years of him. The old saying, “The rich get richer, the poor get poorer,” is true. I’m not voting for you, President Bush.
