ya might want to check out where ron paul's campaign funds went.

LJ · 04-21-2009, 06:21 PM

my point was simply that they DO in FACT make millions of dollars. well...they GET millions of dollars. one way or another.....

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.

People in the top 2% earn above 200k. That is not uber rich. It is not people who make millions. It is barely upper middle class in many parts of the US.

According to this link the top 5% make $153,542 and above, the top !% make $388,806.

oh, and the stupid train quip was pointed more toward spexxcock than you. He fancies himself my nemesis, and rushes to the defense of anyone he thinks I'm picking on unjustly. It's a proud service he does for the weak and defenseless of the cellar. You forgot to thank him, I noticed.
