À propos de cet audio
Congress is supposed to serve the people, but in 1982 it voted itself enormous tax benefits and perks—including deductions for housing, food, servants, and utilities—while ordinary Americans faced rising unemployment and stagnant wages. These special privileges allowed members to shield tens of thousands of dollars from taxation, essentially giving themselves a hidden pay raise while discussing higher taxes for the public. Such actions undermine the constitutional principle of representation and weaken civil government, creating a situation where citizens must be protected from their own legislators. True representation requires Congress to be subject to the same laws as the people it serves, not to self-serving exemptions. #Congress #Representation #TaxFairness #GovernmentAccountability #NoSpecialPrivileges #PublicVsPoliticians #CivilGovernment #FairTaxes #WeThePeople #AccountableLeadership"
