Why is it 7 of the top 10 richest politicians are Democrats?

Because Liberal Elitist Democrats like to talk about helping the poor, saving the earth, and destroying corporate wealth as long as everyone else but them have to participate. They are capitalists who make money off of their hypocritical platforms... hey if Gore gives 10 speeches this year about saving the planet I'm sure he pockets a few million - but then he hops back on his private plane and flies off to one of his carbon producing mansions. Thats why.

And why are so many of them caught not "paying their fair share " in taxes , their patriotic duty BS , and why not a peep out of the hypocrite left ? Oh , I guess I answered my own question.

oh please, none of them are poor.

From your own source

The list of 50 (richest) lawmakers spans both parties 27 Democrats and 23 Republicans

so was Al Gore and he won the Noble Peace prize. so liberals ar lying and getting rich. you thought capitalist were bad......

hello, Kerry married into money. it's not even his.

Rockefeller inherited

Feinstein's is from marriage.

what's your point?

So I guess they invest their money wisely.

Now that is something to think about.

Does your list include ex-politicians who go on to lucrative positions lobbying their former colleagues?

Why or why not?

Because they don't pay taxes.

Its all about intelligence, its a fact that the libs are alot more intellectual.
