Our Incongruous Congress

Yes, it is true many members of "our" Congress are rich, some of them absolutely filthy rich.

There are 237 millionaires residing in the chambers you and I pay for, or 44 percent of the entire body.

Here is a snip showing who the richest of these people are:

CRP says California Republican Rep. Darrell Issa is the richest lawmaker on Capitol Hill, with a net worth estimated at about $251 million. Next in line: Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.), worth about $244.7 million; Sen. Herb Kohl (D-Wis.), worth about $214.5 million; Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), worth about $209.7 million; and Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), worth about $208.8 million.

It's no wonder they can drag their asses on extended unemployment compensation, for example.

All but two of the top ten richest are Democrats, believe it or not.
