19. With an est. net worth of 58 MILLION dollars, Nancy Pelosi does not represent you.

this is the crux of your problems, Democrats. Your elected officials tell you shit they think you want to hear, and then go do the opposite while in office. It's easy for them since they don't intend to share in your fate, and for the most part never needed to worry that they might have to live a life like yours, whether or not they reached high office and used it to acquire connections. They are rewarded for betrayal by people who can afford to give rewards and can afford to really keep track of their actions. Your life gets worse, their life gets better.

Barack Obama: current net worth 11.8 million, and future earnings as a former President - astronomical.

Bill Clinton's earnings since leaving office: over 75 million, all for giving speeches presumably about how he ended welfare, shipped US manufacturing overseas with trade treaties, deregulated the banks unleashing the speculative sickness that demolished what was left of our economy, and got some head from his intern instead of looking out for your interests. Only child, Chelsea Clinton, married off to some member of the Goldman Sachs nomenklatura.

People like these do not represent your interests, can't imagine what your interests are, aren't the least bit interested to know, and don't remember what it's like to be someone like you, if they ever used to be.

Keep voting for them and keep getting more of the same shit.
