How Did Harry Reid Get So Rich?

Try this thought experiment. Imagine that someone grows up in poverty, works his way through law school by holding the night shift as a Capitol Hill policeman, and spends all but two years of his career as a public servant. Now imagine that this person’s current salary — and he’s at the top of his game — is $193,400. You probably wouldn’t expect him to have millions in stocks, bonds, and real estate.

But, surprise, he does, if he’s our Senate majority leader, whose net worth is between 3 and 10 million dollars, according to OpenSecrets.org.

When the politicians lose their lust for power.

We might as well join Rip.

If I was a politician I would use my contacts and legal inside info to become a rich fuck.
Just like Randy " baby killer " Neugebauer, my representative who has increased his net worth by at least 5 million $ since leaving the business world and entering congress in 2003.

It's like placing a plate of food in front of a starving man. Let's eat!
 
I'm for term limits and a rule that says if you are in Congress, Senate or President, your net worth cannot increase by more than inflation or you write a check to the Treasury for the difference.

I suppose they would just get around that by making their children rich which some have done already.

I guess being in the club of 537 if you are not already dishonest you soon will be.

To paraphrase again: It's easier for a Camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a politician to enter the Kingdom of God.
