32. You are not paid a government salary to pray. Perhaps reconsider your career and join the seminary.

I don't know why people that vote for republicans do not understand that government is supposed to work for the people.
For crying out loud, you need government to do more than own the libs!
Seriously republican voters should be offended that all these people have to offer is thoughts and prayers.
You can get that for free. Why should these assholes get paid 6 figure salaries and healthcare that some of us don't have have to pray???
Make it make sense.
