Republican Congressman Kingston May Have to Work

Crooks and Liars has the story of the true work ethic of our Congressmen...(ok, just some of them). A dude from Georgia named Kingston says its an outrage he should have to work instead of being back at home with his family.....

The story reports that Kingston flies home on Thursdays and stays until Tuesday. Overall it is said that when this 2006 session of Congress ends, the folks will have worked seven days less than the "do nothing" Congress of 1948.

Well, I don't know anything about them, but I do know that Rep. Kingston ought to be ASHAMED. His constituents work at LEAST five days a week. They would LOVE to spend more time with their families, but that's not the way the real world works.

In the real world we all work until late May JUST TO PAY OUR TAXES. By the way, Kingston, thats not a two and a half day work week. That's five and six days a week.
I don't have a problem with taxes. I'm in favor of them. I'm a liberal, so I like the idea of helping those who can't help themselves....of building infrastructure...of funding an assortment of worthy programs.

But I'm also offended by this Republican jerk for being so out of touch with the real world.

If you don't like your job, get a trust fund. (As if you don't already have one with that attitude.)
