If a corporate executive enhances his company's stock by say, 10% in value as compared to last year's valuation, shoudn't he be entitled to a 10% raise? Conversely, if the stock goes down 15%, cut his salary by the same amount.

And what about those 535 public servants who get a pay raise irrespective of what they do or don't do, what they pay or don't pay in taxes, or how many tax-payer-paid junkets they take? I say cut their salaries (and other perks) by 10% each year that they don't reduce government spending by the same 10% annually.

Remember, if the opposite of 'pro' is 'con,' then the opposite of 'progress' must by 'congress.'
