Pelosi came to office with only modest personal finances and today is worth approximately $230 some million. Recently she made $250 large overnight, on trade information you or I had no access to.. When you bring up insider trading in DC elected officials think first of Pelosi. This is a major reason why she should go. When people talk about how effective she has been they should reflect on things she has done--trivializing Bernie, especially AOC, and others who sound like how Democrats should sound. Pelosi kept the party under control--a party in a which sparse to nothing was done to stop the MAGA coup while getting rich. Easy enough to investigate all encrusted. rich and impossibly ineffective elected Democrats and their connections to insider trading. I would personally see real justice done by having Pelosi serve time. That is how real justice in a court of law is done, making an example of the worst offender.
"While her salary is $223,500 annually, most of her wealth stems from her husband’s business and their shared investments. His firm, Financial Leasing Services, has a track record of wise investments in companies such as Facebook, Apple and Disney." They also own a lot of real estate in the Bay Area.
Nancy also makes a lot of money in speaking fees, which happens when you become world famous. I remember this was a very sore point about HRC during 2016. it was a scandal on the left about how much she got paid for speeches and which audiences she addressed.
There is nothing wrong with having money—though too many on the left think that there is. Isn't that supposed to be part of the American Dream? What is wrong is when you do not pay your fair share of taxes and give back in the form of donations and philanthropy, or when you are so out of touch you say things like "people who complain they didn't get their SS check are the fraudsters."
Last I saw, Nancy supported strengthening the social safety net, protecting the most vulnerable and raising taxes on the wealthiest. She doesn't put down poor, working, and middle class people. She supports them and supports the things Dems have always championed.
She's not perfect, no one is. Though I know how much fun it is to run a circular firing squad. A Dem specialty, and many of the former GOP here (who in their hearts will always be GOP), are more than happy to provide the guns and ammo.
It would serve the interests of both the party and the country if Pelosi, Schakowsky, and the rest of the aging veterans retired on their own initiative and used their money and experience to mentor and promote their replacements. I remember Strom Thurmond and a couple of other Senators doddering down the aisle to cast votes as they were told by their staffs and that is at least part of the reason for Congress' loss of respect. Full disclosure, I'm 74, all the parts still work, and I'm too old to be an active, effective advocate for voters who expect full-time representation.
