A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics
Money Magazine has outlined the net worth of the major contenders.
Candidate Net Worth
Mitt and Ann Romney —————-$202 million
John and Elizabeth Edwards ———$54.7 million
Rudy Giuliani ———————-$52.2 million
John and Cindy McCain ————–$40.4 million
Hillary and Bill Clinton———– $34.9 million
Fred Thompson ———————-$8.1 million
Barack and Michelle Obama———- $1.3 million
The only reason the Obamas paid off their student loans is because he wrote a couple of books; so, their net worth doesn’t surprise me.
I thought Thompson’s would be more. He has been an actor for forever.
I do believe that McCain’s money comes from his wife.
I think it’s insane that Giuliani thinks that the public doesn’t have a right to know who he’s been doing business with. We already know that he had no problem cashing Hugo Chavez’s checks; so, what other unseemly character’s checks has he cashed.
John Edwards earned his money by winning for his clients; I have no problems with that.
I do have a problem that the Clintons STILL won’t pony up about whose been paying Bill to make those speeches.
As for Flipping Mitt: born rich,he’s a perfect piece of plastic, which probably made him a very good businessman.
