Out-of-touch political leaders must be voted out.

This article in the Las Vegas Sun reminded me that our leaders must be subject to the same laws and programs that they vote to enact for us.

It states

Our so-called leaders are out of touch with us. They don’t worry about the things we have to put up with like health care and retirement; they have plans, unlike us, and we pay for them.

They won’t be part of the new health plan and they don’t have to worry if Social Security goes broke. They spend their time kowtowing to the party rhetoric and work to get re-elected. They don’t hear the will of the people nor represent that will.

It is easier to vote on programs for others when you are not affected.
