It is not just Hillary and Chelsea Clinton who believe that they are poor while enjoying riches beyond imagination of most Americans. I think many politicians have a psychotic self view. And it is not just about money and finances. They cannot imagine themselves as anything but well intentioned, altruistic, and benevolent in their actions. It explains why they make so many irrational comments. They actually believe what they say. Then there are others who just say the words knowing ordinary people want their leaders to be altruistic. These are the most venal pols, as exhibited by Obama, Holder and Johnson.
[From article]
Enter Vice President Joe Biden, whose salary has been paid for by taxpayers since he was elected to the U.S. Senate at age 29, said he doesn’t own a savings account, even though he kind of does.
Back in 2012, inequality crusader Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who lives in a $5 million house and whose stock portfolio totals around $8 million, boasted about her wish that no member of Congress own stocks.
And finally, anti-capitalist movie-maker Michael Moore was asked by yours truly via Twitter in 2011 why he produces movies trashing the same economic system that made him a very rich man. Let’s just say after four minutes of trying, Moore really never cogently explained that conflict of interest.
