Yes,
politicans are for the most part, quite wealthy.
In the spirit of being against the hypocritical wealthy passing legislation that favors themselves, perhaps the best approach is to only vote for candidates who are in the same income group as us.
I'll start.............................
ok, they all make a lot more than me.
I guess I'll vote for my neighbor who is running for Township Trustee, he reflects my income level.
Everyone else can pound sand.

A lot of people dont realize that, in 1996, Nancy Pelosi and her husband and fewer than 10 other partners wanted to build a golf course and country club outside of San Jose, California, called the CordeValle Country Club.
In order to get approval to build on these 275 acres, they had to comply with some very stringent county environmental regulations.
Now the California tiger salamander and the Western pond turtle are apparently endangered species and theyre very, very common on these 275 acres that the Pelosis wanted to develop.
So the agreement they struck with local regulators was, well build the golf course, well set up some holding ponds and well create a natural habitat to make sure that these environmental endangered species survive.
Of course, they built the golf course. It opened in 2000. If you want to join, the membership is $250,000.
But they never followed the environmental regulations. The ponds were never built for these endangered species.
For seven years, they also failed to file any of the environmental reports required by the California Fish and Wildlife Commission.
A 2004 County Environmental Compliance Report found all kinds of environmental problems on the Pelosis golf course.
Remember with Nancy Pelosi, her commitment to the environment is not just an issue, its an ethic and a value. What does that actually mean in practical terms?
Did they turn around and build this habitat and comply? No, they solved the problem the old-fashioned way: they hired lobbyists and they got the environmental regulations changed.
So if you go to the CordeValle Country Club today and play golf, its a wonderful course, but there will be no holding ponds. There will be no endangered species and the Pelosis seem to be quite happy with that.

There are plenty of union contractors in Napa Valley and there are other wineries that use them, its just that the Pelosis dont have happen to among them.
They also sell their grapes to non-union wineries.
They recently held investments in two other wine businesses that were also strictly non-union.

The Pelosis are also partners in a restaurant chain called Piatti, which has 900 employees.
The chain is - that's right, a non-union shop.

They are teasing me...The property is located on Zinfandel Lane ...
Do you know this address ?
" Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi and Husband Paul Pelosi are the latest celebrities (politicians are celebrities these days, aren't they?) to put down stakes in Napa Valley.
They just received approval to build a 5000 gallon winery in the middle of the valley. The property is located on Zinfandel Lane on the east side of the Valley near Silverado Trail.
It appears however that Congresswoman Pelosi will be an absentee owner, given her full time job of keeping Democrats in line as Minority Whip.
However, her husband Paul might have a bit more time to spend on the new project...but not that much. Millionaire investor Paul Pelosi is busy overseeing investments in office buildings, the Napa Valley Auberge Du Soleil Resort and other vineyards in Napa Valley. "

Diane Disney Miller, daughter of Walt Disney, and her husband own Silverado Vineyards (See listing).
Movie Director Francis Ford Coppola owns Niebaum-Coppola Estate Winery in Rutherford. (See listing).
Actor/comedian Robin Williams has a 224-acre vineyard parcel in the Mt. Veeder area, of which 24 acres are planted to Cabernet Sauvignon.
Politicians are in the valley, too. San Francisco Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi and her husband Paul own two vineyard parcels totaling 24.62 acres, of which approximately 9 acres are grapes.
They must not have a name yet, plus I read that they sell to other retailers...

Nancy comes by downanddirtydemocratdoubletalk honestly. Her papá was Joe d'Allesandro who ran Baltimore out of his back pocket for years. Wouldn't doubt that's where the start of the family real estate fortune originates.
He was a real politician. Even some live people in Baltimore voted for him a couple of times. In the same election, of course.

The approval of Pelosi's vineyard, partial sale of another that may have been polluting the local river and a few other "mysteries" have a few people upset. A non liberal connected vineyard owner might be in severe trouble if they did some of what has been rumored.
In the past 3 decades, super rich elite limo rats have bought vineyards in the Sonoma/Napa areas. Robert Redford is one of many. Contributions by many of these left wingers have enabled the local pro commy/Islamo congressit, Mike Thompson to make trips to celebrate Fidel's birthday and his trip to Iraq and not worry about re election. Many of these elite vineyard/winemakers make the French look like good allies.
