Follow the Money

Was 2009 a good year for your finances? If you were a Congressman or Senator, it was; your net worth increased by 16% for the year. Almost half of our legislative leaders are millionaires; I suspect that very few of my readers are millionaires. Another ten percent or so are worth $10,000,000 or more and eight have more than $100,000,000.

I wonder where our leaders invest their money. Is it with the local bank or druggist? Or is it with the Fortune 500 companies who wine and dine our leaders?

How do you define "representative"? Our leaders certainly are not. That's probably why they are not doing the job they should be doing. They represent only themselves.
