This should not really surprise anyone. MOST of the people in Congress are wealthy.....most of them have money in the stock market.
Look up the STOCK Act and why so many of our politicians are against it. That is how they make money in the stock market. They use insider knowledge and promote industries they are invested in via regulation.

Is it supposed to bother me that some members of congress are wealthy?
If they used their offices to make money, absolutely.

all of D.C. is rife with crony capitalism and shady or illegal backroom deal making, it's another reason why Dems and Repubs are so much alike and don't want any real change, they get rich playing the same old game of right vs left.
