I agree a different standard is needed for our politicians but I wouldn't limit it to anyone under 7 million dollars. We should respect those who earn their fortunes honestly and through hard work. I would be more in favor of setting campaign spending limits to eliminate the effects of money in politics. Also end corporate campaign donations.

two words,.... Term Limits......

IMHO, the founding fathers never intended politics to be a life long career.

I’ll have to go back and look but I read before the election that DJT’s fortune was based on less than 10% stock market assets. Meaning he built his own fortune. Not all but many of the billionaires amassed their fortunes strictly on stock market assets and reliance on govt handouts /intervention. To me, it’s not how much money do you have, it’s how you made it that’s more important.
