Oh and the number of execs making 10 or 20 million is not as large as you appear to think.

OK. From the website you posted, the highest net worth of someone in Congress is Jane Harmon at:
Rank Name Min Net Worth Average Max Net Worth
1 Jane Harman (D-Calif) $236,280,153 $397,412,077 $558,544,002

She is rich because she is married to Dr. Sidney Harmon, who founded Harmon Kardon Inc., the big electronics company. They have all kinds of stocks.

Most of the people in Congress have all kinds of stocks, and many of them have spouses who have very lucrative jobs. But, it would seem you are right, and a lot more people in Congress have a lot more money than I thought they did. The point I was making though, is that they don't make a lot of money because they are in Congress.

However, I concede. You and LJ were right, and I was wrong. So yea, let's get them as well.
