Kennedy said, “I counted money for the state of Louisiana. Every bond issue, every disbursement, every dollar that moved through that office had to add up at the end of the day. And when a number did not add up, it was my job to find out why. He looked at her. Ma’am, this number does not add up.”
” Let us be generous,” Kennedy said.
“Using the average salary for a congressmember, $174,000 a year times 37 years. That is about $6.4 million before taxes. Ma’am, you are worth more than $200 million,” he said.
“If a person saved every dollar of salary, ma’am, never ate, never paid rent, never put gas in the car, never turned on a light, that person would need to work for over 1,400 years to reach your net worth.”

Time and time again, we see corruption in our federal, state, and local governments, but nobody ever goes to jail. According to Spotlight PA, out of 100 Senators, 77 members are millionaires. Out of the 435 members of the House of Represenatives 60 percent are millionaires.
This financial disparity raises serious concerns about how connected elected officials are to average citizens, and it sheds light on why there is so little legislative support for term limits. We need greater transparency and reform to address these systemic issues in our government.
