The group, Accountable.US, found that the top 10 richest Republican senators and top 25 richest GOP members of the House of Representatives have a collective net worth of over $1.1 billion and over $1.4 billion, respectively, “allowing them to take advantage of tax breaks granted by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 that they are currently seeking to extend.”
The richest Republican senator, by a significant margin, is Sen. Rick Scott of Florida, who made his money from the nation’s for-profit healthcare system before serving as governor of his state. As of mid-May, his estimated net worth was around half a billion dollars, according to the new report.
Nine of the 10 senators—all but Sen. John Curtis (R-Utah)—“sit on five committees instrumental in shaping budget reconciliation,” the report points out, as the upper chamber takes up the package following its passage in the House last week.
What poor house? Or am I misunderstanding you.
I think they mean that the MAGA crew voted themselves (further) into the poorhouse just to “own the libs”.
