It is a shame! And we are not angry enough to demand that MPs and other fat cats get a pay cut. In PA, USA, the citizens were angry at their legislators' move to hike their pay. They started PA cleansweep. Their politicians had no option but retreat. In recent elections, state senators and representatives who voted for the hike were sent home. http://pacleansweep.com/founder.html
