Political Positions Available

If you're looking for a job that doesn't require much in the way of commitment, why not try politics. You could become a Congressman or Senator. The only commitment you have to make is to vote in lock step with your party. Of course, you'll have to establish a residence where you plan to be elected. And you may have to start a little lower on the food chain. Like State Legislator. May I suggest Pennsylvania? Once elected, you will receive your pay, of course, but also you'll get a car allowance, mileage allowance, you "work" nine months a year and, oh yes, you get Per Diem. P-e-r D-i-e-m. It's like this, you get paid for showing up for work. Yes, you can get $163. per day. Of course it's supposed to be for housing and meals, but if you buy an income property, it'll pay your mortgage for you, so you live free and get the income and equity for free. The other reason for choosing Pennsylvania is that there are so many Legislative positions and so many just opening up. It's a way to get on the gravy train and get used to it at the public's expense. What's not to love about PA. Of course you'll have to prove yourself to the Party bosses if you ever hope to move up. You know, vote right ( or left as the case may be), speak poorly of the other party, and there ya go. Now, how much money you can build up in your war chest depends on which special interest groups you curry favor with and which lobbyists you buddy up to. But do it right and in a two year term, six for Senator, or two, you could retire a wealthy man, or woman. Just make sure you hire a good accountant. That'll be like creating a job. So you've helped the folks back home. A good point for reelection time. And what do you have to do for all this? I already told you, Vote Right (or Left) like you're told. You don't listen. You'll do well in politics.
