"In 2005, the net worth of (PghBaldy: Maxine "Burn Baby Burn," who incited rioters in LA Riot of 92) Waters, recently named one of the most corrupt members of Congress by a watchdog group, was somewhere between $2.2 million and $7.8 million, making her the 122nd wealthiest member of the 435-member House...

In comparison, the median net worth of black households in 2000 was $7,500"

Honestly, I don't think it's that outrageous for any successful person who is at least 40 to have a net worth of over $1 million. In reality, given the state of Social Security it's only prudent for middle-aged and young people to be striving for those levels of investment.

However, I do understand that the issue here is the hypocrisy of the Dems.

Oh yea, ok .. sure it's just a lot of savvy investments

Any idea where this searchable database is? I'd love to peak at John Murtha's feather bed.

Yeah, like SHE is gonna axe those "interesting questions".

These are the bleeding heart hypocrits who are always yelping about "the poor." This Leftist and her multi-billionaire husband could help thousands of poor families by divesting their fortune in charitable giving, reserving a mere half billion dollars for their personal needs, of course. But no, like libs everywhere, they moan and groan about how the taxpayers, who get $50,000 a year in wages, don't deserve a tax cut and should be giving even more to the government, so that the slovenly bureaucracy can cut little checks and buy lots of votes for the Dems. Really, this is getting ridiculous and tiresome. There should be a hard and fast rule that no one whose family has more than one million dollars can run for office in the US. It would decimate the ranks of the Democrat Party.

Ah but they do keep saying it's the 'economy stupid', they just don't advertise it's their personal economy they are most concerned with.

The Democrats want to set up a French system by which there is an entrenched elite in the upper echelons of government and industry, which is extremely wealthy. Their politicians would form part of this elite. At the same time, through taxation and regulation, they prevent the eruption of small businesses and entrepreneurship which would threaten this order.

She may be a leftie, blame-America-first, tax-raising, intelligence-divulging democrat, but her family does make good speakers.

Who said the right can't be even handed?
