I’d love to see their net worth BEFORE congress as compared to now. I bet every one of them skyrocketed. After all, the base of congress is CON!

Obama wants to soak the rich so here is the place to start. We should have a tax 10 times what normal people pay just for our leaders.

We absolutely must mandate term limits folks !!

Two terms in house or senate and you are done, either run for president or go home. No grandfathered crap either. If you've had two or more terms at the time the amendment goes thru you are gone for good. We probably need term limits for the Supreme court also.

So did they publish a similar list in 2007 when Zero was in the Senate?

(And if anyone here really believes that John Conyers could only put his hand on 120 Grand next week, please get in touch with me. I have a bridge for sale.)

Haliburton wasn’t the only one getting nobody contracts in Iraq. Feinstein was directing them to her hubby.

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) was the richest member of Congress in 2010, with an average net worth of $448,125,017. Issa co-founded Directed Electronics, the country's largest manufacturer of vehicle anti-theft devices.

The pubbies have quite a few members in the top 25 with the number 1 occupied by someone I was quite surprised to see there.

Alcee Hastings is worth $-$4,732,002???

A lot of these folks, I’d imagine they own a failed business, but Alcee never owned a business.

Did he rack up nearly 5 million dollars in legal fees?

This is the class that should be taxed at 99%, to listen to theDemocrat/Socialist Occupy crowd. Pelosi pronounced them patriots, before the deaths and drugs occurred in their tent cities. What an outstanding hypocrite she is.

Pelosi’s real job is acquiring decommissioned government land that she, her husband, and their partners then develop at a profit.

Just one example: Denny Hastert came in to Congress with a net worth around $250,000, in eleven years his net worth was $11,000,000. Not bad Denny can the average American get in on your investments?
