Seriously, How did Harry Reid get so rich?

Seriously, How did Harry Reid get so rich? “As a senator and the majority leader in the Senate, Reid pulls down a salary of $193,400 per year. According to the latest data from Opensecrets.org, which is from 2010, Reid has assets totalling $10,360,000.” Maybe like Nancy Pelosi, he accidentally participated in a bunch of wildly profitable stock IPOs.

  • He was self taught at making money, he learned everything he needed to know about bending over the taxpayers from his buddies in Vegas and those in the lesser parts of Nevada that run homes for wayward women who like truck drivers and like to take their money....

  • He did it the dim wit way. He squeezed and shock down those that he came in contact with it. Now he just needs to write a book with a single word inmost of the pages.

  • What I find amazing, is that Harry Reid, an accused pederast, would have so much money after paying off all the parents of the little "cute" boys he had sex with. Could it be that Harry Reid, an accused pederast, has illegally funneled campaign funds to the boys that he has sodomized? Are Harry Reid, an accused pederast, and his major bundlers in on the conspiracy to hide the fact that Harry Reid, an accused pederast, is a pederast? Can RICO charges be far behind for campaign donors and Harry Reid, an accused pederast?

    Who are the major bundlers for Harry Reid, an accused pederast? Why do they keep funding knowing that Harry Reid is an accused pederast?

  • It helps that his son is the Clark County, Nevada Commissioner. Makes getting real estate projects a lot simpler to approve.

    • My question to John and Harry, both, is how did they get so obtuse?

      Were they born this way? Or did they have to work on it?

  • Democrat crony governing. Look at Obama too, how much he as amassed in personal fortune just from 2007 to present. Pelosi made much of her dough the same way via crony governing.
