Seriously, how did Harry Reid get so rich?

[Lincoln Republican]

http://newsninja2012.com/so-seriously-how-did-harry-reid-get-so-rich/

Salary $193,400.00 per year.

Assets $10,360,000.00.

Did Harry Reid take advantage of the insider trading knowledge that was only available to members of Congress, but not legally available to the rest of us? Is that what he did? He certainly has a number of large index funds among his assets, while 80% of his money is in real estate investments.

So, how did Reid become a millionaire ten times over on that salary?

Winfield stop being a Hack. What does this have to do with the 2012 Presidential Election? Mordy please lock this thread.

I dunno. Did he release his tax returns? You can check those.

[Lincoln Republican]

This thread is very relevant, as the thread where Reid accused Romney of not paying taxes for ten years generated pages and pages of comments, mostly derisive of Romney.

This thread will give supporters of Reid an opporunity to explain just how he became so wealthy, and if he really has the credibility to be attacking Romney the 2012 nominee in the first place.

Harry Reid has never released his tax returns.

Reid ought to put up or shut up.

Reid ought to put up or shut up.

Reid isn't running for President. He's been in political office since 1971. He's been a senator since 1987. They get paid a freakish amount of money. But Reid is only worth 5 Percent of what Romney is worth.

Harry Reid has never released his tax returns.

Politicians should release their tax returns in general, and especially when there's something off (hint, hint).

Wow. The Atlas Romneyhacks are making the rest of the internet Paulbots look very polite.

Wow. The Atlas Romneyhacks are making the rest of the internet Paulbots look very polite.

I actually find that the Paulites on this forum are a pretty good lot.

Yeah me too... I wasn't really referring to them just the ones you find on Facebook and other sites.

Jew Mormon gold.

LOL... Plague has broken out of the 2012 board petri dish and is attempting to spread.

[Niemeyerite]

This is what Reid wanted to when he said that Romney paid no taxes. Now, it's a fight between him and Romney and some of his hackish supporters, not involving Obama

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Mods, please ban Winfield for anti-mormon bigotry.

The same way every rich person 'gets rich' - State-granted privilege.

[Vosem]

Why does it matter how Harry Reid got rich?

My understanding is Reid doesn't like shady deals...

I'm a Mormon, but I laughed.

Also, judging from that article that Link posted, probably not shady deals. Reid really doesn't like shady deals. Probably used privileged info, but not any more shady stuff than that.

A statement with which Mittens agrees wholeheartedly.

Uh, hello...he works for the US government? That alone grants you infinite access to corporate cash. The more they make as a government official pretty much dictates the level at which they've sacrificed their soul for monetary gain in my eyes.
