This is nothing new.  However many people probably do not reflect on this information.  One per cent

of the US population are millionaire's.  Congress has 44% millionaires.    The richest representative

is Darrell Issa at $251 million and the richest Senator is Herb Kohl at $214 million.  Of 535 members

of Congress 237 are millionaires.  And the research company who did the research said the residences were not included which would have upped the worths.

Also interesting I believe 6 had minus zero net worth !!!  Have we checked our representatives and

senators net worth ?  And no they won't have to abide by the new health care package, they have

their own exclusive care.  Who would think?
