The Shocker !! One Percent? They work in the Halls of Congress !!

Boom Years for Congress

December 27, 2011 - by Donny Shaw at Open Congress
Between 1984 and 2009, the average net worth of American families has decreased by about .7 percent. But for the folks in Washington that we elect year after year to make laws for us and spend our money, these past few decades haven’t been so bad. Over the same time period that average Americans experienced a slight decrease in their net worth, members of Congress, on average, have enjoyed a increase in their worth of about 159 percent.  (PERMALINK)
