“McMahon has stated publicly that she is willing to spend $25 million of her own wealth on the race”


Why would someone spend $25 million for a job that pays $174,000?

The same reason President (then Senator Obama) said he never could his $4 Million dollar home until he became a Senator (a job that pays $174K/year.)

In order to ‘chow down’ forever from the public trough of $$$. It’s simply a down payment for the future...

That 174K is only the over-the-table money. After becoming Washington insiders, many of them wind up with much more dough than that.

And the perks....

Senate Seat: $25M
Access to MO’s fashion tips: priceless

If she wins the seat, we may well see her rockin’ the kitchen curtains look....

I’m coming to the conclusion that a political campaign is merely an expensive hobby for the wealthy.
