Politicians there to line their pockets

IF the Premier of Brisbane, oh sorry, Premier of Queensland Campbell Newman and all politicians cut their massive pay, eliminate all their lurks and perks and subsidised meals, the budget would soon be in the black.

They would still have more money than the normal man in the street.

The Federal Government should do the same, the Australian economy would be booming in no time.

I always thought that politicians were there for the good of the country but it seems they are there to fill their pockets.

Is this why most people of Australia think they’re parasites?
