Average the top (Harmon's $397 million) and the bottom (Hastings -$5 million) and you still have an "average" of nearly $200 million....so what? how meaningful is that?

Hey, when you make a claim that ALL members of Congress are getting "rich as shit", I'm just trying to understand how these bottom 25 in net worth ($0 or less) are getting rich:

IMO, its no better than your equally bold statement that virtually ALL economists dont share Obama's economic growth projections.

The facts dont support your generalizations.
