Bernie Sanders is not poor or even middle class, neither is Hillary Clinton, neither was Kerry,

Obama. Yes, the wealth differences between them differ but as long as they support the poor and the middle class, i frankly don't give a shit how many houses each of them own.

I am not against the wealthy and the upper middle class, I am against grotesque income inequality and poverty and poor health care and systemic racism and systemic poverty etc.

Sanders and Clinton and Kerry and Obama stand up for me, so I don't give a fuck what they own themselves.

1. Can I get a Ramen

Thank you. personal wealth is not what I look at. I look at how people handle personal wealth. Do they use it to harm others or build them up.

Are they like Sanders and Clinton or are they like trump and the cockroach brothers?

2. The Kennedy brothers are a perfect example.

3. Joe Biden was ranked the least wealthy senator. And Obama came into wealth late in life...

...mostly due to the sales of his book. I wouldn't characterize him as particularly wealthy by government elite standards.

In 2006, Obama's net worth was estimated at somewhere between $456,012 and $1,142,000, according to a CRP analysis. That earned him a ranking of 67th. But it's a ranking that is sure to go up. Obama's 2007 tax return showed earnings of $4.2-million, based largely on the sale of his books Dreams from My Father and The Audacity of Hope.

McCain rode his wife's coattails to No. 8 in the 2006 ranking among senators, with an average net worth, $36.4-million. Much of McCain's wealth comes from his wife, Cindy McCain, who is chairman of Hensley & Co., her family's Arizona beer distributorship.

So congratulations, Sen. Biden, you are in fact one of the least, if not the least, wealthy members of the U.S. Senate. For now. We bet book sales for a vice presidential candidate will soon change that. Still, we rate Dean's comment True.
