The millionaire's club...

The millionaire's club ... aka the U.S. Congress.  This year, for the first time ever, more than half of all U.S. congresscritters are millionaires.  That's interesting, and possibly concerning – but certainly not scandalous.  After all, being successful in business is one of the ways any individual might hold him or herself forth as being worthy of a position of political leadership.  I, for one, would feel much more confident of That One and his band of bozos if the leader and his band had some successful business experience.

So I've got no problem with the notion that we have lots of millionaires in Congress.  What I do have a problem with is those congresscritters whose net worths have soared while they are in Congress, with no other income.  Like, to name but just one example, the disgusting Harry Reid.  For that group (and there are members of it on both sides of the aisle), I have a standard prescription:
Rope.
Tree.
Corrupt congresscritter.
Some assembly required.
