This is so not newsworthy. $1M isn't that much these days when you add in the value of real estate and businesses. And 401(k)s can grow quite nicely with tax-deferred status and employer contributions. Of course, the value of those retirement and investment accounts won't reflect their current value, which is way down at the moment.
I took the most conservative estimate I found, many said "over 2.3 million", and it is newsworthy, in *my* opinion, when one is trying to bill themselves as 'joe six-pack, sitting around the kitchen table trying to pay their bills.'
I also dispute the fact that taxes weren't paid on the per diem of $17,000 and pawning ones expensive *hobby* of snow-machine racing as a *job*.
Again, you'll note by far the majority of posts I've made this week have been 'on topic'. And I did note this one as 'off topic'.
This article states $1M. It sounds like a lot was made from the fishing business before she became Governor. I'm fine with someone running a successful business.
I am sure Obama and Biden have financial assets squirreled away, too.
The $17K sounds like a dispute between tax attorneys with differing interpretation of a tax law. That's not her fault.
Good you marked this OT, since it is.
Notice she also isn't on the list of politicians that got huge contributions from Freddie Fannie. Obama was way at the top along with Kerry and Hillary.
