Just wondering. Where does a guy like Ron Paul who has made between $100-174k a year come up with 5-6 million dollars? He seems to have somehow saved up more money than he's earned from his lifetime total congressional salary. That's really impressive.

Either Ron Paul really is the second coming of Jesus when it comes to economics, being the most successful money manager in the history of the world, or he's just another corrupt politician stealing every penny he can get his hands on.

From what i understand, his investment portfolio has performed WELL above average. Can't even begin to cite that but remember reading it when i was first investigating his career.

WELL, as in the article basically said that by looking at his returns, he WAS a financial guru. i chalked it up to his economic views.

well, $150,000 a year over 32 years means we've paid the guy $4.8 million dollars. what did we get for ROI? one single bill passed. that's all.

he probably doesn't need to spend that much on personal expenses, since we foot the bill on his first class flights, food, etc.

just because he is a gold bug and gold is at bubble-like highs does not lend any credence to austrian economics, that is fallacy.

Q:Has Nancy Pelosi spent $100,000 on food, booze and "partying" during her air travel?
A: No. Pelosi’s congressional delegations do eat well and drink pricey alcohol. But the costs are not as high as critics claim, and they’re comparable to those of her Republican predecessor, Dennis Hastert.

lol. fail.

Yes. That is the result of insider trading. Congress has made it legal to trade on insider information. In fact, every member of congress who trades on the market happens to have a portfolio that performs extremely well above average. Because they cheat.

If you actually believe that, you are WAY too fucking stoned to be here! Sober up a little and do some research. And give up the bullshit "blue against red" "democrat against republican" trash, it's no longer about parties or colors. The last two complete dickhead morons ran this country into the shitter, so before you vote, do yourself and the country a favor and RESEARCH!

So he's "saved" his entire salary + between 200k-1.2 million magically appeared in his bank account and paid his mortgage with libertarian magic dust. Yeah, that sounds legit.

i ask for no mercy. i've never stated that he will win. i just WANT him to win :)

Yeah. You and a few others get a pass because you just want him to win, rather than deciding to join a cult. But I will be swimming in the tears of the cult members.
