Gloria’s pay raise

Published by RedBlueThoughts at 2:14 pm under Uncategorized Edit This

I don’t know the reasons why Gloria deserve a pay raise. There’s a proposal today to increase the monthly salary of Gloria. I don’t know about you, but, for me, Gloria does not deserve a pay hike.

Is’nt enough for her to receive millions from dubious deals which her husband got as First Gentleman? Is’nt enough that she gets millions worth of donations from political patrons? 
And on a sober side, there’s a prohibition in the Constitution that government cannot raise the pay of officials during their term of office. I mean, come on! You can’t legislate something which would benefit you alone, right?
Instead of raising pay hikes, it’s best for government to just raise the morale of government officials and employees. Those who serve the government do so not to enrich themselves in office. No. They think it is their patriotic duty and it should be more than enough compensation for their work.
