The list is here.
UPDATE:
A friend of mine points out the flaws in this video:
Lies, damn, lies, and statistics.Thanks, 'brain!
This video is made to mislead.
One clue: heavy reliance on percentages. This is shocking when the denominator is low, which is usually the case.
2nd clue: percentages are avoided where convenient. Video switches to real numbers to say that 223 of 535 members had their net worth increase. In percentages, 41.7% of them had their value increase. Said differently, “as home prices and 401k values for America where on the slide, 58.3% of Congress saw their net worth decline as well.”
3rd clue: Doing “analysis” on only the “successful” sub group. By leaving out 58% of the group, they try to make it seem like EVERYONE is making off like a bandit.
Lastly, look at the list and notice Louis B Gohmert, Jr from Texas. His net worth declined from -110k in ’04 to -250k in ’08. He got poorer and they put him on this list.
If these guys at the website have a good point, they failed to make it.
