Letter to the editor: Politicians should work for a living

I’m so tired of them. You know the ones, living off of our hard-earned money while we do actual work day in and day out. They get to ride around in big new cars with smartphones and unlimited data plans while we drive to work in thousand-dollar cars just waiting for the alternator or some other thing to go so we can put it on an overextended credit card. They buy nice shoes with our tax dollars while the steel in my steel toes is coming through the leather.

And another thing. You better believe they don’t have to submit to drug tests like we all do.

What’s wrong with that picture? It’s like the harder we work, the less money we have. All the while, they get started on our dime and seem to get richer and richer. We have this whole lazy class of people who really don’t bring any value to the table. Enough is enough.

Isn’t it time our politicians actually get to work for a living?
