I’d be curious how many of them made their money at honest jobs,
One of my state Reps, John Dingell, over 50 years in congress, is a multi-millionaire........

To calculate the net worth of lawmakers, the Center added together members’ significant assets, such as corporate bonds and stocks, then subtracted major liabilities such as loans, credit card debt and property mortgages.
It is not clear to me whether this calculation includes their primary residence or other real estate. Presumably it should if it includes property mortgages, but it doesn't say so explicitly.

That has to be the best reply I have read in 4 years.... I was only thinking that Pelosi is the type of person who, if on fire, I would not waste my time to piss on her... But I would the grave as we’ll...
These people have and are destroying this country and ALL of them need to be voted out. But then they would all live well on their ill gotten gains while people like me continue to try to find work for the last 11 months, and no, I have not taken one dime in unemployment benefits...at least I will die with my pride intact.
