Since everyone in Regular America is super broke, The Hill -- not to be confused with The Hills, although if you do confuse the two, please share your meds -- decided to make us all feel worse by telling us how rich our national lawmakers are, and how they're only getting richer as everyone else gets poorer.
Among the richest: Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Someplace Way Fancier Than You).
According to The Hill's annual report on congress's wealth, "the 50 wealthiest lawmakers were worth almost $1.4 billion in 2009,
about $85.1 million more than 12 months earlier."
Mr. Teresa Heinz Kerry is the richest, followed by a bunch of other old white people, followed by Claire McCaskill, whose apparent wealth comes from her husband, Joseph Shepard. Shepard owns a bunch of affordable-housing projects, and together the pair is worth around $15 million.
No other area congressmen made the list, but don't worry: They're not starving.

you hit it on the head,,,,, spend taxpayer money on the so called poor, and she gets rich building housing projects which are tomorrow's ghetto
This cunt and her husband having stealing money from the government through section 8 for years. What a cunt, she says "I want to help poor people", my ass, you want more low income housing so you can get richer. thieving bitch.
Just trying to get you fired up so you'll start spouting off. You handled it instead of playing into it. I don't mind some name calling b/c I understand (and hope) you're passionate about your beliefs just as I am with mine. We're constantly labeled by the left so I returned the favor. I like the new name.
God, I love these wingnuts who come around whining about name-calling and then use words like "libtards" in their posts. Pot-kettle-black?
Good observation DPW. You're about to get bashed by the libtards for calling them out though. You're going to be a bully or a racist or something, just b/c you questioned them. Then you can go to another site and see that they're crying claiming that right-wingers are ganging up on them.
I can't believe the pitch actually posted something negative about one of their dipshit representatives....maybe there is hoope for the ass-clowns of journalism after all!
7 of the top 10 are Democrats who inherited or married their money. I thought the Republicans were the party of the rich...
