Also, I though it naive of you to differentiate between them and corporate execs based on that criteria in the first place.

let's just go back to being strangers.

Having a salary that pays you millions of dollars, and getting a golden parachute that is worth millions of dollars is not the same thing as raising millions of dollars that will be spent on a campaign. People in Congress do not MAKE anywhere NEAR what most CEOs make. Money that people in Congress may make outside of their salary (like speaking gigs) has nothing to do with what they are paid while in Congress. Yes, they capitalize on their position, but they still don't make as much a CEOs do.
