From The Hill:
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) saw her net worth rise 62 percent last year, cementing her status as one of the wealthiest members of Congress.
Pelosi was worth at least $35.2 million in the 2010 calendar year, according to a financial disclosure report released Wednesday. She reported a minimum of $43.4 million in assets and about $8.2 milion in liabilities.
For 2009, Pelosi reported a minimum net worth of $21.7 million…
So, you see, Obamunism does work – you can make a fabulous amount of money. All you have to be is (a) rich to begin with and (b) incredibly juiced-in with the Ruling Class…
Small wonder that our liberals want more money printing and borrowing – they are making out like bandits, aren’t they? Of course, it would be nice if they would put on a mask and shout “stick ’em up” at us, rather than pretend they are doing it out of altruism. I can take being mugged, but I don’t like being mugged by the sanctimonious. I’d much rather my hard earned money go to support a crack habit than go to make Nancy Pelosi even richer – this means, you know, that her children and grand-children will have the financial muscle to annoy the nation for a century or more after Nancy is gone.
And, so, my solution: let’s have a real tax on the rich – a wealth tax. We should hit everyone with more than $20 million with a 10% annual tax on their net wealth. Nancy wouldn’t mind, would she? I mean, after all, she does claim that the millionaires and billionaires have to pay their fair share…now it is time to get her to pony up.
