A Classy Move by a Classy Individual

“Bolivia's new President Evo Morales cuts his salary by a half to a little over $1,800 per month.” -BBC

And not just that, either.  He is saying that no government officials can make more than the President and that salaries need to be reviewed.  Way to go, Evo.

I’m pretty sure I know a few elected government members that should take a page out of Mr. Morales’ book.  I believe they are the same people who insist on keeping their cars running during parliamentary sessions and the same ones who take off to Mexico for 3 months instead of getting things done.

But who am I to judge?  I don’t go to Mexico on taxpayer dollars…and I don’t even own a car, let alone employ a driver to keep it warm.
