This Chart Explains Why Politicians Aren’t Like The Rest of Us

“Members of Congress have always been rich, and today they’re even richer.  In fact, a new study from the Center for Responsive Politics suggests, it’s possible more than half of them are millionaires.  The Center for Responsive Politics, which runs the money-in-government website OpenSecrets.org, calculated the maximum and minimum possible net worth of each member of Congress, by adding up the high and low ends of the value ranges for each asset and liability listed. They then averaged the two and found that, for more than half of members, that average is over $1 million.”
