Kagen In Good Company

From Alfred

From 2006, Steve Kagen ranked second only to Hillary Clinton and just ahead of Barack Obama in personal finances.

Even John McCain was ranked 23rd.
Even Herb Kohl didn't make the top 25.

"Personal Finances
Top Outside Income, 2006

Members of Congress are allowed to accept a limited amount of outside income, but they must report it. This table shows the top recipients of outside money in 2006. Filers are required to report the source, but not the amount of income earned by their spouse and dependents. Though it's not required, some do report the salaries of their spouses and other dependents. Where listed, those are shown here too." allil by alfred

Make of these totals as you wish but ask yourself when are you too RICH,
how can he relate to the common voter?
how can he relate to $4.00 gal gasoline?
how can he relate to 25% increases in your electric bills this fall?
how can he relate to mortgage payments?

Will someone ask Steve Kagen how much is a gal of milk?
Will someone ask Steve Kagen how much is Kraft Mac n Cheese?
Will someone ask Steve Kagen how much is Charmin Bath tissue?
Will anyone ask Steve Kagen how many houses he owns?

Steve Kagen is on the side of unions, environmental groups, and special interest groups looking to get their legislation passed!

And the poor voters of the 8th district of Wisconsin keep paying more and more for everything we touch. Taxes, food, energy, the list is endless.

Steve Kagen is out of touch and needs to go back to private practice.
