She’s right. Let her work for minimum wage and contribute her millions to paying down the national debt.

Then put your $5-25M where your mouth is and start giving it away, Rosa.

But, no, you don’t want to redistribute yours, only mine.

“Millionaire Congresswoman: Income Inequality is ‘Existential Threat’ to U.S.”

Still waiting for someone to explain WHY.

I guess it all depends on what the meaning of "congressional financial disclosure" is.

Apparently, fuzzy disclosure is enough for those who write the disclosure laws.

That’s amazing.Rosa Delauro is said to be a multi-millionaire and she hides it well.She looks like a damned bag lady.

I was asking myself how she managed to become a millionaire in Congress.But then I remembered that Congressmen and woman are allowed to commit insider trading with information they acquire during their committee hearings and such.

Another reason I hate these Liberal S.O.B.’s.

Damn. With that kind of money, you’d think Rosa would’ve visited a talented plastic surgeon by now.

Ya’ll can laugh at her, but she’s simply running the narrative for the DNC. LIVs will lap this up and the GOP is too feckless to refute the lies.

Another millionaire limousine Commie Comrade crying crocodile tears about “income inequality.”

Yet this leftist hypocrite doesn't back up her rhetoric by giving away her wealth to those suffering from “income inequality.”

And if she's like other leftists, she probably doesn't even tip more than 1%.

These people are both predictable and revolting.

Gotta be that. Her hubby Stan Greenberg is president of some political propaganda tank and she has never done anything but be a Rat hack her whole life.

Must be great to get rich off the taxpayers pretending to be concerned.

Bingo. The harder the sell, the older the dinosaur the DNC sends out to sell it. What does she care? She’s gotten her slice.

Do you have her address. I will ask her to send me some money to help equalize our wealth and get the process started.

I totally abhor these communist liberals, especially the ones from the NE.
This “do as I say, not as I do” is the biggest threat.
The hypocrisy of these libs goes way beyond a normal person’s comprehension.
