Would you be surprised to learn that even after this latest election, 27 of the 50 top richest Representatives/Senators on Capital Hill will be Democrats? Yeah. Me too.
Would you be surprised to learn that the overall net assets of said 50 richest INCREASED in 2009? Yeah. Me too.
Would you like to see all that in a snazzy slide-show format? Yeah. Me too.

Huh. You mean those "not all so rich" republicans who want to decrease taxes for the wealthy are not just money grubbers? Or is it that there are really a lot of rich democrats ... who want to share the wealth because they themselves are so giving as well??
ReplyDeleteLOL! Actually, was kind of poking the hypocrisy of the Democratic party who seems to be running on a platform of "WEALTH IS EVIL!" in the last few cycles. But I hadn't considered that maybe they are in congress to make the laws that will force themselves to give it all away!
