According to our richest Congressman, the poor of the United States are the envy of the world. That's a new excuse among those on top to ignore how their policies keep the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer.
Rep. Darrell Issa, the California Republican, has a net worth of at least $350 million - which places him with a comfortable lead over his next closest rivals for wealth. He doesn't seem to care that economic mobility has been stagnant over the last half-century, except for people like him.
