1. Here you go...

"The earnings would make him well off by most standards, but in the Senate, he is the poorest of the lot, according to a review of financial disclosures by the Center for Responsive Politics. The wealthiest member is Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.), who had a maximum net worth of $313,990,127, according to the review"

3. How can you not trust a man like that?

He accepts the- i'll admit- generous salary he's given and doesn't go overboard with greed like so many others. Quite an accomplishment for someone that's been in office for as long as he has.

4. "generous" is a relative term

While Biden commutes to DC, anyone seriously thinking about being a Senator or Representative has to figure in the cost of maintaining two homes. DC is not a cheap place to live.
