I never reached a salary of $100K, much less $150-174K for decades, or a management position. Yet I'm probably viewed as a "corporatist" in some corners. So, after working for all that time and living frugally, I now have a net worth of roughly the same as BS before his book deals, who has earned almost $6M since being in Congress with a wife that was earning $200k as a college president.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
