RollCall.com - Wealth of Congress

Almost 200 members of Congress are millionaires.  Does that affect how they perceive the need for social programs?

  1. Definitely an interesting question. I was reading recently about Bernie Sanders' recently released tax returns. They showed that he and his wife brought in about $200,000 in 2014, almost all from his salary as senator. Compare this to Hillary Clinton, who together with her husband made over $28 million in 2014, with more than $20 million of that coming from "speaking fees." It just seems doubtful that the Clinton's have a real handle on the needs of the many when their combined net worth is well over $100 million.
