How do any of the presidential candidates claim to be the man of the common man? The median yearly income for Americans is $46,000.
McCain's net worth is estimated between 20-30 million. Plus, his wife has money of her own.
Clinton is estimated around 40 million and her husband has racked up over $40 million in speaking fees since leaving office.
Obama reported earnings of $984,000 in 2006. Yet, that doesn't take into account $1.9 million in adavances for his book, plus royalities. Oh, and did I mention that his home in Chicago is valued at over $1.6 million.
Mitt Romney is worth ungodly amounts of money.
Edwards and Guiliani are filthy rich as well. Reporting well over $30 million each.
The only person who is truly not wealthy is Joe Biden. His net worth is typically valued at 150,000-300,000. He has worked in public service his whole life. Maybe obama chose him as the VP to put obama more in touch with the working man.
I don't see how Obama is making such a fuss over McCain having 7 homes and having such a privileged lifestyle while obama sleeps comfortably in a 1.6 million dollar home.
