Politicians should 'feel the pain'
One of the reasons our elected representatives aren't too concerned about high gas prices is that they don't pay for gas ... or in most cases for their vehicles to get to and from work. We pick up the cost of transportation, including gasoline, for politicians.
As the letter writer below suggest, these public servants don't have a good feel for how much pain working Americans are feeling. If we took away their free cars and free gas, they might get the point.
There are a whole lot of freebies that we, the voter, should strip from our vaunted elite "serving" us in Congress. Either that or we should cut to the quick and buy them togas and gilded laurel leaves and chariots.
