Politicians should also take the pain

I agree with the comments of Sean Power (Letters, Sept 18).

We the taxpayers are sick to death of our TDs, senators and councillors thinking they have the God-given right to decide on where cuts should and should not be made.

Sort the system. We are sick and tired of the cutbacks, the ever increasing burden put upon us, forcing many families to wonder how they are going to get through from one week to the next, yet politicians think that they can just keep on spending.
