Why contribute?

Almost every mail delivery brings (as it did today Saturday) one or more letters, often from members of Congress themselves, begging me to send $15 or $25 to help convince Congress to help 'save Social Security.' Congress has stolen trillions of dollars from the Social Security 'trust fund' to use for their own purposes (read: things done in the hope of being re-elected.) Why in the name of common sense would I pay honorable men to do something they have already taken a vow to do? More to the point: why do they keep being elected?
