Did you know 40% of the U.S. Senate are millionaires?
See “Millionaires populate U.S. Senate”. The House isn’t much better, with our own John Dingell high in the running. From “Pelosi among wealthiest Democrats in House.”:
“Rep. John D. Dingell, Michigan Democrat, the ranking member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the longest-serving House lawmaker, reported 37 mutual funds owned alone or with his wife, Debbie. He did not list the salary of his wife, who works for General Motors, but did say she has $1 million to $5 million in GM stock options and $500,000 to $1 million in a GM Savings-Stock Purchase Program.”
