Class Warfare is Alive and Well!


Federal Judge and nominee to the Supreme Court John G. Roberts has to make all sorts of disclosures to the Senate Judiciary Committee as part of the confirmation process.

One of those is financial disclosure, meaning how much he's worth, where the money is and so on.

Turns out John Roberts is doing pretty well, with some $5.3 million in assets. Not bad for someone who is about to take a drastic pay cut to go back into government work.

But the media is focusing on that $5.3 million figure, . . . imagine that, a rich guy on the Supreme Court!!

And so it goes with the class warfare card.

With Roberts' wealth making news, perhaps it's worth noting the net worth of some of the politicians in the United States Senate.

Out of 100 members, 40 are millionaires, including:

The Poodle: net worth, . . . somwhere between $164 million and $211 million, thanks to the wealth inherited by his lovely, adoring wife . . .

New Jersey Senator John Corzine...$71 million . . .

And, as you can see, . . . the list goes on and on. It doesn't really matter, but with the media making as big a deal as possible about Roberts' financial disclosures this week, perhaps it's worth nothing that compared to some of the U.S. Senators that will be quizzing him, he's dirt poor.

God Bless,
