Rich politicians
Submitted by whecht on Fri, 12/21/2007 - 06:45
I find it amazing that politicians can get so rich while making only $150,000 a year.
McCain is worth millions but did very little outside of the air force or the senate.
Hillary made $100,000 in cattle futures while her husband was governor or AG of Arkansas.
Lamar Alexander becamse rich on the public payroll
I think this is a huge scandal that no one seems to care about.
People went to jail for bribing Duke Cunningham but no one goes to jail when they 'allow' someone like Alexander to invest in a small company that turns Alexander's $50,000 into $5,000,000. It is the functional equivalant of a bribe.
They belong in JAIL
What is on the web?
I would be interested in what other discussions you have found on this. I googled "rich politician" and did not find much useful info.
We care
You say this is a huge scandal that no one seems to care about. You and I do. Yet I think to do a decent google search we need a better term. What would you do to Google this?
