CONCORD, N.H. (AP) —
Several people were shot Friday at the New Hampshire state psychiatric hospital, police said.
That’s the thing, it isn’t poors shooting poors. House rep Gabby Giffords was shot in the head at a constituent event. House rep Steve Scalise was shot at a Congressional baseball game.
Lol they don’t have 30 million in net worth between them. Their whole net worth put together equates to one whole super yacht.
You do know, with rare exceptions that don’t take the money, federal politicians are just the paid middle managers for the owner class, right? A big reason Americans get into politics to begin with is to get on the take and become lowball multi-millionaires for doing what the money tells. Them. Yay greed, our primary culture value.
Also, having to go as far back as 2011 for examples when we have mass shootings constantly kind of makes my point.
There’s ‘I can buy anything I want money,’ and there’s ‘I can warp the culture with media, pay lobbyists to warp policy to my holding’s interests against the public’s, and buy politician’s allegiance’ money.
And yeah, their 20 and 5 million respective net worths put them firmly in column A, and lets be honest, barely that these days to be considered rich. 5 million doesn’t buy much at all in places where actually rich people congregate, you aren’t even getting mid tier real estate in wealth class hives like Manhattan, Malibu, or San Francisco. It’s even on the high end of conceivable to have earned such sums rather than having been aquired through exploitation and or speculative investment aka gambling, although not in their cases.

"They’re not rich, they’re only worth like $15 million dollars! "
Perhaps not the strongest argument…
