It does not surprise me that most members of Congress are rich. With what it costs to run a campaign you have to be to get elected. I would be more concerned with how they made their fortune BEFORE they were elected. I understand one had a business selling herbal supplements, one reason there is resistance to regulation thereof. I read that one got upset over only getting $175000 as a Rep when he was used to earning more. Tough cookies, I say. Actually I wish some rich folks, like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, would run.
I get what you say, I just don't like the fact that they use their 'public service' to increase their wealth. To them it's all about personal gain, and zero for John Q. Taxpayer.
