I haven't been willing to post here lately ...it gets boring having the same old stupid arguments...but this caught my attention.
Lets look at the guy at the top of the list. John Kerry owes his fortune to his wife Terresa Hienz Kerry. Terresa got her fortune by inheriting it from her husband Senator John Hienz, who was a Republican. Had he not died he would have been the richest lawmaker. So you may ask what difference does it make, and that is exactly my point.
This is the stupidest article I have ever seen. Do we realy care how much money our lawmakers have? Would you all be happier if all of our lawmakers were poor idiots who never ran a business or had the ability to manage thier money well enough to have any?
Politics is an expensive game. We have all helped make it more so. So don't bitch when only the wealthiest in the country can afford to play the game.
