got to go? where? who decides? You?
he got wealthy in a way many many have. Would you eliminate that? it is called capitalism.
Pelosi founded and runs the venture capital firm Financial Leasing Services, Inc., through which he and his wife have a personal fortune of about $114 million.

Having previously invested in the Oakland Invaders of the United States Football League, he purchased the California Redwoods, a franchise in the United Football League, for $12 million in 2009. The Redwoods later moved to Sacramento to become the Sacramento Mountain Lions.

Never said they did not. I have implied or said that the Democrats crossed many red lines. There will always be connections of corruption. With democrats it is 3 sheets to the wind corruption.

Take the old bag Feinstein. She brags about how she was the original China hand,. It is where her hubby made his money. She got the money and we got the Chinese spy on her staff.
