Candidate Gives
Views On
Term Limits
Oliver Luck. candidate for the
United States Congress from the
Second District. recently, an-
nounced he is in favor of 12-year
term limitation for members of
the United States Congress.
Mr Luck believes that the
abuses of incumbency have be-
come so great It is necessary to
our form of self-government that
terms of service be limited.
"Our founding fathers did loot
establish this democracy for pro-
fessional politicians." stressed
Luck. "Unfortunately, most in-
cumbents are so entrenched
that many interested and quail-
fled citizens do not make the ef-
fort to run for office."
"Fne retention rate for Incum-
bents for Congress in 1988 was
99.2%. higher than in ahnost
any communist regime." contin-
ued Mr Luck. "In fact, it is
harder to get elected to the
United States Congress than it is
to get elected to the Supreme
Soviet."
"We are faced wlth a 300 bil-
lion dollar deficit because of the
irresponsibility of tile United
States Congress." emphasized
Luck. "The Congress has been
dominated by a single party for
the last 36 years and that is part
of the problem."
"I have the utmost respect for
men and women who dedicate
their lives to public service,"
continued Mr Luck. "It just
seems like an elected official
should be able to accomplish
what he wants in 12 years or it's
time to give someone else a
chance."

rity pays monthly benefits to re-

lies. These payments are fi-
nanced by payroll taxes paid by

als. The monthly benefit anlouni
is based on the an individual's
average earnings over a workirig
lifetime.

stered by Social Sei'ilrily tire
