Term Limits and Service Pay for Elected Officials


We give the United States President term limits, but not other elected officials.  The president gets elected just like Congress does.  Why not term limits for them as well?
If you are enlisted in the United States Armored services, you are given a pay grade, based on, branch, rank, length of service and specialty training.  (To name some particulars)  Those who serve this country proudly and boldly even in the direct line of fire have an average starting pay of $28,377.27. ¹
The average salary for Rank-and-File Senators and Representatives in 2012 is $174,000.  Vice President earns a cushy $230,700 and the President, a comfortable $400,000. ²
Common denominators:
1.       Work for the people of the United States
2.       Have a high sense of patriotism and duty to their nation
3.       Funded trips around the US and the world
 
Behind Common denominators:
 
Government Officials:
 
1.       Most believe the people work or them
2.       Blinded by their own ideals and need of power
3.       To campaign for another few years of power and credential building
 
Government Service Men and Women:
1.       Sacrifice to serve the people
2.       Train to protect those who cannot protect themselves
3.       Free trips to combat zones and support bases

Common sense says:  For those in power, should be compensated the exact same way as those who sacrifice.  It is about service and patriotism to our nation.  Not money hunger, power gathering, get as much as I can from the country.  Elected officials should have term limits just like the President.  They can serve only for so long before being replaced by a like mind individual or a new thinking individual elected by the people.
Which Office would you prefer?

Office 1
Office 2

Don't worry common sense knows already it takes a special person to take office 1.  Be proud and honored there are those who take this office to keep us focused on office 2.
 
Jared Taylor
