Thomas Massie 2012.
Thomas Massie 2012.
Looks like he is already laying some solid groundwork for a future campaign.
*sniff* our boy.
Linky to an article or something? Helps with the sharing.
It came from the man himself, so, no. :pQuote:

Damn, I was going to as him to claim me as a dependent child (according to Obamacare, people are children until they're 26).Quote:

I directly asked Amash about this and he tapdanced around the question and eventually said he was taking the pension plan and benefits. Oh well, not everyone can be perfect.Quote:

Not to rain on the parade, but Thomas isn't hurting for money. It's a nice gesture, but I'd be more impressed if it were someone like Joe Walsh (in debt, past due child support payments) turning down the pension and healthcare program.
Further proof Massie is the true wielder of the Matrix of Leadership.Quote:

Members elected to the House after 2003 are not allowed to decline their pensions. Apparently Ron Paul was making them look bad, so they passed a law. :rolleyes:Quote:

SEC. 104. (a) Section 8401(20) of title 5, United States Code, is amended by striking the semicolon at the end and inserting the following: ‘‘, and who (in the case of an individual who is a Member of the House of Representatives, including a Delegate or Resident Commissioner to the Congress) serves as a Member prior to the date of the enactment of the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 2004;’’
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/5/8401
(20) the term “Member” has the same meaning as provided in section 2106, except that such term does not include an individual who irrevocably elects, by written notice to the official by whom such individual is paid, not to participate in the Federal Employees’ Retirement System, and who (in the case of an individual who is a Member of the House of Representatives, including a Delegate or Resident Commissioner to the Congress) serves as a Member prior to the date of the enactment of the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 2004;
Leading by example.
Outstanding.
