Angry ginger Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 4 minutes ago, steve from amherst said: The latest data calculated by OpenSecrets.org reports on disclosed information from 2012. The latest batch of numbers shows that the 113th Congress had a median net worth of $1,008,767. This is the first time in history that the majority of members are millionaires.[1] For information on which members saw the highest change during their tenure, please see Ballotpedia's page on the Changes in Net Worth of U.S. Senators and Representatives (Personal Gain Index). I'm good with congress having high net worth, i would hope we would want people already successful to represent us. A bigger concern is a guy like bernie who has nothing now being worth millions because he's been sucking dick in office for 40 years.

What you don't want is people who went in worth $100k and 2 terms later are worth 1.5 mill . While working a job that pays $174 k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the biggest legislature in the country here in NH, do you know what we pay them? $100 a year because there job is to represent the people and still work a FT job in the real world so they aren't blind to what really goes on in the streets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No beer drinker will stop drinking beer because a 6 pack went up 6 cents in price. I'm willing to bet prices went up more then that when fuel prices were higher . And that price increase probably never went away. I know I increase my prices when fuel was $350 a gallon. And I never lowered then when it came back down. No comment on the jobs lost got it.

It appears to me that members of Congress have failed miserably at their jobs while at the same time those overpaid members of Congress don't think so.

The steel tariffs are trumps temper tantrum because the nafta negotiations aren't going his way. That's why the talks are dragging on.

Ben doesn't usually think. Good of you to give him credit. In the end Trump playing the ugly American won't help any trade negotiations. The US is seen as an unreliable partner at best and a dishonest negotiator at worst. I doubt many businesses want to invest when the rules change by the week. 1 hour ago, Kev144 said: Multiple industries have already come out saying steel/aluminum tariffs will force them to drop jobs and raise costs.

I wouldn't deal with the public like they have to for that little money. america is still a land of great opportunity, if your not getting your share it's time to do something different. Only in america are guys making 6 figures with a HS education complaining about how unfair everything is to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
