Dear Friends, Please find a special message from our paid sponsor, Wall Street Daily. Sponsorships like this help to allow us to continue to send you our Daily Update free of charge. We appreciate your interest in our work. Rasmussen Reports Dear Concerned Voter,

Mitt Romney, whose estimated net worth is $250 million, was reluctant to release his 2011 tax returns...

Meanwhile, Romney’s running mate, Paul Ryan…

Well, his net worth exploded by up to 130% over the last 10 years.

“It’s absolutely stunning,” says political intelligence expert, Robert Williams

“What Ryan accomplished during a decade marred by deep economic recession is virtually impossible. He must have been playing with a loaded deck.”

Williams just released the shocking results of his investigation into the secret affairs of Congress.

While the investigation exposes - at times, even embarrasses - our nation’s lawmakers, Williams admits that even he’s surprised by the findings…

“I now know things that very few Americans know. Shocking things. It’s scary, actually.”

Williams’ next public appearance is in Chicago in September, where he plans to speak for the very first time about his 10 months inside of Congress.

For a sneak peek at the investigation’s findings, including how Romney and Ryan got so rich, and…

You’ll never look at your Congressmen the same way again. It sure had a profound effect on me.

Ahead of the tape,

So much for the Rasmussen veil of objectivity. He is no more objective than all the other polling organizations if he accepts advertising like this to be spammed out to people who subscribed to his reports.

Rasmussen is using his so-called objectivity to advance advertisers like this to remain in business. I would wager that his balance sheets show a far more telling story of where the funding comes from for his polling.

There was supposed to be an exposé yesterday in the Washington Post about all the congressmen’s net worths. Anyone see that (I just logged onto FR...)

I understand that the Obama’s have done quite well in just four years and likely will become billionaires upon retirement.

Williams just released the shocking results of his investigation into the secret affairs of Congress.

Interesting revelation but I'm still faced with taking a decision between Obama or Romney. Hmmmm ... I'm voting for Romney ... yep, that's better for my children, my grandchildren, me, you, and the nation.

When they expose Harry Reid’s dirty laundry in NV, I’ll get back to them. Funny how it’s always Republicans they ‘expose” and not Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi, or Diane Feinstein.

By design, none of these get-rich schemes is illegal, not even insider trading. They make sure they write the laws in a way that they can’t be prosecuted.

just because an email ostensibly came from a particular email address doesn’t mean that it actually did.

To be honest there is nothing to be surprised about. They are in a position in government where they are able to benefit financially if they throw their ethics books away. Im not 5 years old anymore to think the world is full of rainbows and people are selfless and have values and morals. I am certain everyone in government is on some kind of take or abusing the system in some way to benefit financially. All It can be is a favour here and there or good information which knowing about at the correct time is invaluable.
I know candidates on both sides are messed up and will be messed up until the end of time, you have to be to reach that position in the first place, you have to compromise yourself in some way.

I’d thought I’d read an accounting of Ryan’s finances, and it included one, maybe two inheritances, mostly from his wife’s family, but Ryan’s family had a multigenerational business as well.

Says tons about Rasmussen.

Smells like spam. If you got the email you may want to confirm its authenticity by forwarding it to:

Then report back to us.

It's not Scott Rasmussen per se -- he sells advertising to subsidize his website and sometimes spam like this (and ads for junk like mailorder erectile dysfunction drugs) slips through.

Most disturbing though, is the revelation: "Meanwhile, Romney’s running mate, Paul Ryan…"

"Well, his net worth exploded by up to 130% over the last 10 years. ".

He has a gov't job, and in 10 years his net worth is only up by 130%??????

Rule of 72. At 10% your money doubles in 7.2 years. At 7.2% your money doubles every 10 years.

130% (double plus one third) is a very, very good return.

"Exploding??" No.

"Absolutely stunning?" No.

Just very, very good. Smart even. Just the kind of guy you want running your investments.

You’re already assuming the insinuation from the email is true.
