There seems to be a growing awareness that Congress is for sale and has been bought and paid for. This paragraph is in this week's The Week, The bottom line.
"In 2010, members of Congress had a collective net worth of at least $2 Billion, a 25% increase over 2008, and that does not even include home values. The 50 richest lawmakers account for 80 percent of the wealth, and the median net worth is about $513,000."
So the message is clear. If you want to get rich and can't get a job on Wall Street, get yourself elected to Congress. That is the second best choice.
