I am disgusted by people like the Governor of West Virginia who increased HIS OWN SALARY by more than 50% while there are STATE WORKERS who are BELOW THE POVERTY LINE having to be on WELFARE, even with their jobs! And he refused to give teachers pay-raises, even though other political employees had similar pay-raises to his!
That is absolutely ridiculous! How can people who are in positions of power that are meant to HELP the people WHO ELECTED THEM to those positions be so selfish and self-absorbed? Did they just never care about the people they represent and serve, or did they become tainted by the jaded world of politics? Why can't people maintain the idealism of making this world a better place and actually put it into action when they have the opportunity?
This world makes me incredibly sad.

This sounds familiar, that type of thing is rampant in CA. Budget cuts, forced vacation days with no pay, and letting people go, but all the govt workers are still getting their full salaries, even though they were over 100 days late on a state budget. The only good thing I can say is that Schwarzenegger doesn't take his salary as governor (not that he needs it). Power corrupts, apparently
