Personal Finances of Congressmen

Bob Casey- his net worth is between $160,020-$578,000, which ranks 84th in the Senate. He has 14 assets and 3 transactions. 


Robert Andrews- his net worth is between $66,005-$206,000, which ranks him 346th in the House. He has 5 assets and 1 liability.


I agree with the author. Since so many of our congressmen are millionaires, it can make them difficult to relate to and it can make them have a hard time relating to the common people as well. When they make decisions it could be hard for them to make decisions based on the view points of common Americans. Instead, their views could be distorted due to the fact that they have such different lifestyles than most do because of how much money they have.
