I think it would be a good idea to force U.S. senators and

"Those who take the most from the table
        Teach contentment.
Those for whom the taxes are destined
        Demand sacrifice.
Those who eat their fill speak to the hungry
        of wonderful times to come.
Those who lead the country into the abyss
        Call ruling too  difficult
        For ordinary folk." – Bertolt Brecht.
