I sometimes complain about the fact that our politicians are mostly rich, far richer than the people they (supposedly) represent. Indeed, my very own Congressman, Darrell Issa, is the richest person in Congress: he’s worth about $350M. But the situation could be worse. In China, the richest person in the National People’s Congress is Zong Qinghou, who is worth just short of $19 billion, with a b. Mr. Issa’s wealth would not even put him in the top 50 of the NPC. This in a country where the GDP per person is less than that of Tunisia, less than $10k/yr. So, yah, it could be worse.
