Yeah, word on the street is that Walz doesn't have much money, no house etc.   I guess he might get a pension from being a congressman, and from being a teacher.   But not much right now. 

mspart

His National guard pension kicked in this year.

[mspart]

Ah, there is that.   Not saying anything negative about Walz on this front.   But it has been reported he is no millionaire, far from it.

Wait, you mean the two public school teachers aren't worth hundreds of millions of dollars???

Correct.  But if he is elected vp….. Expect him to be worth ~hundreds of millions of dollars because all of those elite politicians eventually are.  I’m not sure if it’s corruption, insider trading, or bribes….. but something.

why are pelosi and Feinstein worth 230m combined on their 150/200k annual salary.   Yes repubs do it too before you post.   They are just as corrupt.

Well Pelosi's husband is fairly wealthy and has made some good trades.

Pelosi was rich before she entered office. That's actually how she got the gig. She hosted the best fundraisers in San Francisco and became close with the congresswoman she eventually replaced when she got sick. Her husband is a very rich venture capitalist.

Feinstein was married to Richard Blum, who founded Blum Capital. It manages billions of dollars. That's where her money comes from.

Being rich is one of the pre-requisites for running for office in this country. It's very hard to run if you aren't extremely wealthy and have wealthy connections. There are outliers (Sanders, AOC, etc...), but not many.

It's always funny when conservatives call Dems communists. These are some of the most elite capitalists in the country.

That anyone can succeed if given the opportunity. She and my father didn’t aspire to be wealthy—in fact, they were suspicious of folks who took more than they needed.

Says the woman who has 3 mansions, and has a net worth of $150 million.    It is a bit incongruent to be that wealthy and not think for a second that her own parents wouldn't be suspicious of her.   I don't care that she has money, but what a hypocrite in saying these things while everyone knows she is filthy rich.  

Quote

If things don’t go our way, we don’t have the luxury of whining or cheating others to get further ahead. No. We don’t get to change the rules, so we always win.

Another incongruence that the DNC is 100% about.   They changed the rules and Kamala, who got zero votes both in 2020 and 2024 primaries is now the nominee.   They prevented Bernie in 2016.  Again, the blatant hypocrisy on display is staggering.  

She is trying to talk from a moral authority standpoint but in fact is projecting the whole time.

Giving out this free cash for houses will again make inflation worse.

My house value just went up $50K if KH hands out $25K. 

Just like giving out money during Covid via the printing machine made everything cost more!!!

Who wants a popsicle?  

Not really the issue under discussion. I can remind you of the original point if you need? 

If a second time home buyer puts in a bid for your house is it still up $50k? Are you doing it to be spiteful? If so, this is exactly what I mean when I mention pools being filled in instead of letting everyone benefit. This would be directly analogues. You don't want others to benefit from a program(you know none of the details of, but just don't like the person suggesting it. It very well could be revenue neutral but you aren't willing to wait around to find out. You've already made up your mind. Tell me I'm wrong and then prove it by siting details of the plan and where you disagree and what impacts those policies will have based on your knowledge of economics). So rather then just let it work and see. You will purposefully sabotage it, still have no effect whatsoever, but feel better that you screwed someone who was already getting screwed by the circumstances that were beyond their control.  If this isn't the conservative and right wing agenda, I don't know what is. Considering most of you are waiting around for the end of the world. Clad in the knowledge that it WILL happen before you die. So getting a little satisfaction in the punishment of others(that, again, you are SURE you will be forgiven for) while you're here, is a bonus.

This is a common theme with you JRoss and many others that will probably chime in. You don't like who you don't like. Are unwilling to say why it is, exactly, WHY you don't like them. But they are unworthy, for some reason, of getting or receiving help from the government or anywhere. Especially if those resources are coming from you by way of taxes you don't approve of or could be put to better use by benefitting you and your family. Your self-righteousness is a joke. It always has been. Whoever you learned it from knew it too but it was beneficial at the time. Which is probably why you still do it. Prejudice people believe in their hearts that they are doing the right thing until they are taught be someone that actually cares about them, that it isn't. We all know it isn't. If you have a brain in your head, you know that maintaining your bias is wrong and you shouldn't. But changing is hard and requires will. Neither of which you probably have much of any more in those departments. Which is why you addressed a question I didn't ask with an answer you were confident was correct. So now, you just have to convince as many people as possible to believe you. Not because its true of course. You know it isn't. We all know it isn't. Kids know it isn't but need to be convinced at an early age to fear people for silly reasons. So you'll continue fearing and not acknowledging why until you either learn better or die. 

Best of luck,

They did what they thought was politically tenable, politically advantageous, and as much as they could without getting too much blow back. Its not ethical. I don't agree with what happened to Bernie. There should've been a lot more fire brought down on the DNC for how they handled it. I think that race would've gone a different way had Bernie been on the other side of 45. Do they have anything to explain with Kamala? No. Its the party's prerogative to put forth the process as they see fit. There are no laws about it. And in the last 50 years there is no precedent for this situation. Sorry that you're mad that the tables have turned. Its a whole new race and you're scared that the outcome is not what you thought would happen. Life's hard, wear a helmet.

Daughter of water plant employee(notoriously overpaid) and secretary in the south side of Chicago. Why wouldn't we listen to this person about this message? BTW the year the civil rights act was signed. So her parents couldn't vote until Michelle was even born. Russian nesting doll of inequality, notwithstanding, maybe we can take a beat and hear what real world experience Michelle has to pull from in this and other regards.

All your 'shut up and dribble' remarks are hilarious. All irony aside, as if anyone cares who you think is an authority on the subject or why they should stay in their lane. As you shout your displeasure into the void. Hope it helps. Probably won't. 

Make sure to vote! 

[mspart]

Except that she proclaimed for all to hear that her own parents would be suspicious of her because of her wealth.  Just what was her point in saying that?   I don't think anyone begrudges her wealth, but to be that wealthy and tell everyone that this is wrong is hypocritical at the highest level.   I mean that is gold medal worthy.

She ain't giving up hers that's for sure.   Did you see all those mansions and Palatial estates?   No way those go without a major fight. 

All part and parcel of the hypocrisy of the left and they have no idea that they are exhibiting the very behavior they are decrying.   AMAZING that anyone can be that tone deaf.   But we are all witnesses to it.
