Most of them pull that. Rostenkowski was nothing but a so-called public servant since age 25, and he somehow became worth 10 million dollars when 10 million dollars was huge money.

 

If you apply for a student loan, public assistance etc as a normal American, the government demands that you include the income of your entire family as your own. These people ensure that nothing done or earned by their spouses and children is in any way connected to them, even as to conflicts of interest.

 

Joe Biden's son got rich off government money, Chelsea Clinton somehow lives like a princess, we could go on and on with examples of this. Classic example of rules for thee but not for me.

Gold old Harry filed bankruptcy shortly before winning office (you know his wife right?) when he retired his net worth was over 20 million.

Don't think so.

 

Looking back at all of America’s leaders, the nation’s first president, George Washington, was also the richest. He’d be worth $525 million in today’s dollars, according to a recent estimate. President Barack Obama wasn’t born rich, but he’s worth about $5 million, most of that income coming from book royalties.

But not all U.S. leaders are wealthy men. President Harry S. Truman may have been the poorest of all U.S. presidents. He was worth less $1 million in today’s dollars.

Well, according to Hillary, the Clintons were flat broke when they left the White House. Although she wasn't real specific about what happened to the money she made in that surprisingly well timed cattle futures trade back in Arkansas.

It's rumored that she spent most of that cash on body armor after she came under sniper fire when landing in Bosnia...

It is not illegal for members of congress to use their knowledge to invest (insider trading). Most members are considerably wealthier after being in office because of this.

Isn't it crazy they passed a law to protect themselves from using information learned in closed door committees for personal gain before it becomes public.

 

We do the same thing. Go to jail.

 

It's worse than that too. Congressional members and their staffs are exempt from all kind of laws. Most workplace laws that apply to businesses of greater than 15 or 50 employees depending on the law, don't apply to staff. They can be worked into the ground and most do it to get a much more lucrative job down the line.

If they ain't rich when they get elected, they are when they leave office- and it is NOT from their salaries! All sides play that same game. Main reason we got the crap we got now

I suspect all this well funded uproar over Kavanaugh is because he's a poor. The other justices are all pretty wealthy.
