Casually making millions, almost certainly illegally, while her district suffers as one of the nation’s most severe when it comes to income inequality. [0]

Every day I become more and more convinced that all politicians are basically the same - chasing self-interests, power, and prestige.

I think this is just one way in which many politicians are the same. This does not mean that they share all the same concerns or have the same plans for the country.

California has high inequality compared to other states because the rich people don’t want to live in those other states. It’s not like people are rushing to move to Mississippi or West Virginia.

It’s easy to have low inequality when everyone is very poor like West Virginia.
