   For 2009, Pelosi reported a minimum net worth of $21.7 million.

   With that kind of money she can afford to switch from Botox to something more permanent like Sacrete!

    Easy, start a business, any business, then become a congress person from anywhere. The once your party is in power attach riders to bills that will ensure your company is exempt from the onerous regulations that you impose on other businesses….watch you competitors get hit with extra operating costs that your company does not have and there you go instant sucess.

    You may recall that the poster child for house flipping ( later changed to “flopping” ) was none other than Casey Serin. He went on to Net-sensation as he documented his downward spiral on “Iamfacingforeclosure.com”.

    What makes it interesting is, he got his start flipping homes in Sacramento! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casey_Serin

    I simply thought P. Phil would lend us some local color or perhaps a possible explanation for Nan’s incredible ‘returns’? Sacramento was among the first housing markets to go kahboom. Everyone there got their azz handed to them. What’s her ‘secret’?

    Though the markets are up from a year ago, not too many funds are doing well. If I were the SEC…. I’d be looking into her investment moves and finding out who she knows and what they might have known that could have proven “advantageous” to Ms. Pelosi.

    Those gains look alien to the general reality of last year.

    If you follow Doug’s link you’ll see one more reason why our country is so messed up top t9o bottom. Look at how many are receiving retirements from their home states where they were state senators or rep.s. It’s pers that’s killing states, retiring then going on to work at other high paying jobs and thy are not 65 or even close to it. These giverment retirement accounts are literally breaking the states and country.

    shouldn’t be much longer before the states and country are bankrupt.

    Pelosi was worth at least $35.2 million in the 2010 calendar year, according to a financial disclosure report released Wednesday. She reported a minimum of $43.4 million in assets and about $8.2 in liabilities.

    Not counting the cash in foreign banks, and the hidden assets NOT reported to the IRS…

    Like the other Demofatcats before her, it’ll be discovered that she had income that wasn’t reported, and out will come the excuses like, an oversight, husband’s fault, forgot about, accounting error, etc.

    I just want to know, is she paying her fair share?

    You see, all of her travel, and incidentals were paid for by the taxpayer, so she should have very little in the way of deductions (except for the non-producing Napa vineyards of course)….no? I didn’t think so.

    Nancy owns a winery or something like that. She probably makes a lot of money on the backs of the illiegal aliens she employs and pays subpar under the table wages with no healthcare or benefits.

    Then she undercuts any law abiding competitor by outpricing them in the market driving them out of business while she doubles her revenue allowing her to leverage her use of illegals even more. The sanctuary laws she supports also benefit her by increasing the labor pool so she can pay even less for harder workers.

    She owns wine land in nor cal. She said that wine would not be produced in California without illegal alien workers. She pushed for legislation in California that makes employers not responsible for workers who get hurt on the job, so the state has to pay for it. In other words, she hires illegals, does not pay for their health compensation, so I have to. She is really swell. No, she does not pay her fair share, she makes others do though.

    Now, do we all understand where liberal progressive dirtbag politicos get the idea that “the rich don’t pay their fair share?”
    

    Classic projection!

    Feelings internalized, then projected at wealthy conservatives, with the idea that; “if we’re making this much money, and not paying taxes on it, then the Republicans must be cheating, as well!”

    So, when they say the rich aren’t paying enough, you know they mean the “rich Republicans” aren’t paying their fair share.

    If you want to learn more about how the Pelosi family businesses are run, the chapter on Pelosi in Peter Schweizer’s book Do As I Say (Not As I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy is an excellent source of info.

    http://www.amazon.com/Do-As-Say-Not-Hypocrisy/dp/0767919025/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1308178395&sr=8-1

    The book also has fascinating chapters about your other favorite liberals: Hillary Clinton, George Soros, Michael Moore, etc.

    The key point in the book is that when Conservatives do things that contradict their principles, they damage their lives. But when Liberals “abandon their principles and engage in hypocrisy, they often improve their lives.”

    They have only two prinicples:

    1. Do whatever is needed to become powerful and retain that power.

    2. Do whatever is needed to amass phenomenal wealth.

    Both work hand in hand. Once you become powerful or wealthy its easier to make the rules that favor either and both principles.

    Liberals, i.e. leftists, have no other principles to guide their lives. They can’t be hypocrites since they are not guiided by ethical nor moral principles.
