Now that you have limited executive pay in the financial sector I am encouraging you do go even further. First lets look at politicians. Their pay should be capped at the salary paid them by the taxpayers. No speaking fees, no book deals. no real estate transaction that net a profit, or will net a profit in the future, nothing. No more double dipping by drawing a salary out of your campaign accounts either. The published salary is just that, YOUR SALARY. Live on it, or quit. Next, lobbyist. Thats right, the ones that have no place in your administration anyway, so they should be set to the same cap, $500,000. The recent revelations that Tom Daschle has made over 5 million dollars in the last two years 'lobbying' is just disgusting. At least the CEO's did something for thier money. A lobbyist just makes 'back room' deals.

When you take care of these get back to me Mr. President and I will tell you what group we should go after next. I don't want to tip my hand, but Shakespeare got it right way back when...:<)
