Malarkey From Markey Supporters

For John, BLUF:  Beware the theory of "class conflict".  Nothing to see here; just move along.

I was at Jiffy Lube, getting my oil changed, trying to concentrate on my Rosary, when an Ad from the Democratc Party blared out of the TV, decrying Gabriel Gomez as an "out of touch" rich guy.  I expect that Mr Gomez is richer than Representative Markey.  But, Mr Markey is in the millionaire region also.  He is definitely not like thee and me.

The Washington Post talks about Representative Markey here.  It reports that in 2010 he was worth $1.5 million, a 66% increase since 2004.  Did e make all that money while Mr Obama was President, or did he perhaps make a lot of that while "W" was President?

Here is an overview of all Congressional members, including Senators.  Here is a look at the top 57 members of Congress, who are among the wealthiest 1%.  This is by Reporters Gregory Korte and Fredreka Schouten, USA TODAY, updated 16 November 2011.

That Democratic Party Political Advertisement was rubbish.  And, remember that the once and future Speaker of the House, Ms Nancy Pelosi, was at $35.2 million in 2011.  Sure, it is all Paul, but it is also Nancy's.
