Claire McCaskill Claire McCaskill is the 14th-richest member of Congress, according to a ranking by the Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call.
Her minimum net worth is nearly $20 million, the newspaper determined.
That puts her behind John Kerry, Jay Rockefeller, Dianne Feinstein and Ted Kennedy, but ahead of Nancy Pelosi, Elizabeth Dole and Lamar Alexander.
Obama is proposing raising the amount of taxes people like McCaskill pay; of course, McCain wants to give most of his tax cuts to people in that tax bracket.
(Why doesn't this list include McCain? His wife owns a private jet. Isn't she worth more than the McCaskills? If Cindy McCain doesn't count, this listing is not completely accurate.)
He is actually 13 but the article says probably higher b\c assets are all in Cindi's name.

You deranged old man.
Something Americans should have in place just in case your do-nothing, 9-percenter, Democratic Congress screws up the bailout.
God help us, I want a pre-nuptial from Reid & Pelosi.
I wonder why Cindy needed a pre-nuptial agreement from the honorable John McCain.
As I learned during the convention, when they met, it was love at first sight. Why would Cindy distrust McCain?
(It couldn't be because McCain was married when he met Cindy, could it?)
... and good for her hubby, who knows her character well.
Real patriots are willing to give back to their country what is fair and necessary. Hypocrites just want to tax the other guy.
Who knew that Lamar Alexander was still a member of Congress?
Very nice of you to make a comment like that about Cindy.
I wish I knew where there was a page that illustrated politicians' gains in personal wealth while in office.
Increasing an already large fortune by 24% while working a full time job on the public dime is impressive. Why don't we put Claire in charge of the Treasury? Maybe she could put those money-making skills to work for us.

No wonder she's in Obama's pocket. I'd love to listen in on her conversations with the Dem's Pelosi crowd.
It's unfortunate that she's probably an elitist who hates the very people she claims to represent
You KNOW I'm Right
