Lucas: Kennedy immune to liberals' drug outrage The Lowell Sun Updated: 05/24/2016 06:40:52 AM EDT
U.S. Rep. Joe Kennedy III ought to dump his moneymaking stock in a biopharmaceutical company that charges $1,000 a pill and indirectly fuels the state's opioid crisis.
It tarnishes his fine Kennedy image. Being a millionaire, he doesn't need the money. He is one of the richest men in Congress.
But the 36-year-old congressman from Brookline says he can't get rid of the stock because the majority of his assets are held in shared family trusts

“It tarnishes his fine Kennedy image.”
You have got to be kidding me.
It tarnishes his fine Kennedy image.”
HAHAHAHAHAHA! Where do they get this stuff!
You guys beat me too it. Guess there must be something in the water up there huh? Camelot? More like sham-a-lot.
He fits right in with the bootlegging patriarch Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. who made his fortune on illicit alcohol.
Old Joe Kennedy’s vast fortune is rapidly dropping in value, because of the large number of parasites in the family. Ted Kennedy was its last effective manager. Otherwise, the fortune is fading fast.
“”It tarnishes his fine Kennedy image. Being a millionaire, he doesn’t need the money. He is one of the richest men in Congress.””
Read the whole article and find the writer is really speaking “tongue in cheek” - doesn’t make any apologies for the double standard of liberals.
I would like to know how he became a millionaire - exclusive of the Kennedy money. I doubt that he is one of the richest men in Congress. Well, I guess if it’s “men” and not “person”, it could be true. He worked in the Peace Corps and was an assistant DA so where’s the big money coming from? His father? Where did he get that kind of money as he was only a politician also? His grandfather had a big family so how much money did his estate have to spread among what - 10-11 kids? Those Kennedys really can stretch a million dollars into BIG MONEY, can’t they?
“”But the 36-year-old congressman from Brookline says he can’t get rid of the stock because the majority of his assets are held in shared family trusts.
His own personal investments are managed by an independent adviser, and he has no decision-making authority over what stocks are bought and sold, he says. But he is reviewing that policy.””
I say he can’t have it both ways - the stocks are either tied up in (ahem!) family trusts OR he has no decision making authority. Gads! How many more generations of Kennedys is there going to be where we are going to have to listen to this nonsense? Well, I won’t have to but my kids and grandkids will surely have to put up with them.
He can’t get rid of the stock? Call up a stock broker and sell the stock.
Always an excuse by these hypocrites.
“Kennedys historically have moved nations” <- Now that’s funny!
“However, 2012 was the year Kennedy, or his financial advisers, also first bought stock in Gilead, becoming one of 23 members of Congress to do so.”
That looks like they received FREE stock, also known as bribes. How did 23 members just happen to know about this stock at the same time?
The price will remain high as those members want to make more money.
Kennedy could burnish his fine image by investing in a string of abortion clinics.
Something in the water?
Yeah an Olds Delmont with a woman
inside.
Not to fret. Soon there will be more rabbits than carrots.
Dang. You would have thought with all the tide changes over the years that would have cleared up by now. RIP MaryJo. RIH teddy.
