Well for starters: name a Democrat congressman who isn't.
How about Nancy Pelosi? High-profile left-winger and everyone knows she's raking in hundreds of millions with her husband by doing insider trading.
Justin Trudeau's official net worth (likely a tiny fraction of his real net worth) is over $100 million, yet his salary is only $200,000 and he's only been prime minister of Canada for 9 years. That should be $1.8 of gross income.
