And do you wonder how politicians are middle class when they enter politics and millionaires after they are reelected a few times? And Mitch is not the richest of the white old men who control the senate and the purse strings of the government. There are hordes of them. And it is our money — our tax money — that they are sitting on. I wish I were younger — at 80 I don’t expect to be around long — but I would really like to see what happens (soon) when these old men die off and younger people (hopefully more idealist rather than mercenary) are in power.
