Does govt regulating companies they are also invested in not concern you? Especially when you are subsidizing it?

This thread was not started to ask about the bold and you know it.

As the other poster said, there are are 5 to 15 members of the House who are richer than Nancy Pelosi depending on what site you use, why single out her ?

My guess for the same reason Romney was singled out; political spin. But then he never said he promoted wealth sharing and acknowledge capitalist system was his thing ;quite different from Pelosi and reality.

You are posting in a political forum and you cannot figure out the motivation for someone to select Nancy Pelosi?

Wow.

Secret Hint: It must be because she's a woman! shhhhhh! That's why people hated Palin too....because she was a woman....lmfao.

Serious question though, I have to ask because I went to college with a gal that claimed this. Do you feel rockets are designed that way because of aerodynamic properties or because guys just like to make things phallus shaped...engineering be darned?

Its not really a question of why her, but why the thread in the first place.

The logic of the people on this forum seems to be you can not be rich and also argue for a higher minimum wage.

Why to ask about a particular person is a good question, but I can think of many reasons not related to the points mentioned. And I disagree. I think this is directly related to govt employees profiting from and regulating companies they are invested in. I consider it a conflict of interest. It took me all of 2 minutes of scanning to pick up some glaring issues with delaney. I am sure there are many , many more. This is not limited to congress, however. Class warfare has nothing to do with this.

Actually, if you read the thread title it's how the big fish are making a butt load of money while by most metrics the poor and middle class are losing ground.

I mean dear god, the whole meme of class warfare and 1%'ers throughout the 2012 election and thereafter and you can't follow why Pelosi would be targeted?

Minimum wage is really just a red herring, boosting the wage a couple bucks doesn't change the fact of the stagnation for the middle class making $20/hour or more importantly all the manufacturing jobs that went overseas and haven't come back.

The min wage is an allocation issue, I personally am not against some sort of inflationary increase to it given it's been a while since it was increased....but it's not fixing the root problem.

Are you a NAFTA supporter by the way? An off-shoring, anti-union type?

If not, why do you vote for NAFTA signers?

Obama has cut taxes for small businesses and middle class families.

And republicans are blocking all tax cuts and aid to small business.

And we live in a capitalist country and Nancy Pelosi is free to make money, did she make it unethically?

Nancy tries to raise min wage, give the middle class tax cuts, and get everyone health insurance (she is one of the cool rich people.)

And republicans are also blocking Obama's/Pelosi's tax cuts for the middle class.

Mccaul (R Tx) reported a net worth of $12 million in 2005. Today he reports a net worth of about $305 million and is the wealthiest member of Congress

So what.

2009 was simply one of the very best low opportunities since the early '80's. And most any rich, or elite or politician paying attention could/should have made huge money since then. She made money because she was all three, and invested.
