‘PUBLIC SERVANTS’ OR ‘OVERLORDS’

Currently  538 members of Congress are worth  $2.1 billion (according to Roll Call).

“Our analysis also found at least 188 millionaires — about a third of Congress — up from 185 the previous year.  …. The median lawmaker on our ranking has a minimum net worth of $456,522 — not too shabby.”

While net worth of U.S. households the, median net worth — the folks in the middle — has generally lagged.  The latest figures from the Census Bureau — from 2011 — show a median net worth of $68,828 per household.  Compare that to ‘your servant’ in government worth $456,522.
