POLLIE, something that sits as a dead weight on your shoulders, craps on you regularly and just repeats everything someone else says.
Pretty apt description if you ask me.
Also I have a good friend who was a Federal Senator for 3 terms and I can tell you his benifits far outweigh the salary he was on. He also managed to set up a good business with the Chinese on one or more of his political trips while in Government. I could fill several pages with the perks of office some of which are continuing even after retirement. No matter what party they all do and get the same. We as tax payers fund all of this so why shouldn't we have a say in their pay packets. As a share holder of any company we have a right to comment on salary. Polititions as public servants should be no different. Give them an hourly wage tied to justifiable productivity targets and some would owe us money.
