Go on Riley, leave no doubt, you think he has a bunch of accounts we don't know about?
Bro I'm 39 and my wife and I worth more than this asshole.
He doesnt have it all figured out.
Personal finances of Walz and Vance show stark differences

I love how the facade of the Republican Party has crumbled with this news, and they’re back to good ol’ elitism.
Why not when he served with her in Congress for over a decade?
You aren't. In any sense.
Thinking that you know what his finances are is another example of your ignorance.

the GOP position is clear ...straight out of Dear Leaders mouth
‘You have to be wealthy in order to be great’
‘You have to be wealthy in order to be great’
In other words, Trickle Down Economics which has proven to be a failure.
That you are a moron for believing you know his financial situation from an article like that.
I didn't say anything about Vance's financial success, good for him. The idea that Walz's financial situation hurts him politically just does not compute. Last I checked, something like 40% of Americans don't own any stocks and most who do have them in professionally managed 401ks/IRAs through their employers. What if doing the right thing in a given situation means the stock market will take a hit? Do you want someone with a lot to lose by doing the right thing or someone who can look at the situation in a less self-interested way?
That's because your ideology precludes you from understanding the possibility that some people want different things in life than readers of self-help garbaj
agreed on the raytheon thing. it’s certainly pertinent. still he appears to have literally nothing to lose which is something to at least be aware of. i suppose kamala and her hubby have conventional wealth which mitigates any worries. now if kh were also a hermit type i would worry
God damn you're trending toward a lost cause of a human being
I mean, many on here (including Rs) bitch about how we don't want someone bought and paid for by corps and special interests. We finally get a guy who appears to have made it pretty far in politics without that and yet we still bitch.
Hmmm .... I think Walz brings a lot to the table when it comes to understanding the average midwesterner. I bet WAY more than Trump, Harris, or even Vance. I know a LOT of folks his age in similar situations relying mainly on a pension.
I mean, we are also worth more than what they stated his net worth is too, but what the hell does that have to do with anything? Also, I bet his pension is understated.
It's not the portfolio I would want, but saying this guy will be destitute seems like a stretch, depending on his spending habits.
Four lifetime pensions that provide an annual income north of 100k would allow them to maintain their lifestyle.
If he does become VP, his 3-year average will get a bump, plus years of service go to 16, increasing the federal pension by a nice chunk.
They seem to be in an okay spot to have been government employees their entire lives.
The biggest issue will be housing unless there is a family home they plan to move into as their forever home.

Plus, he can always write a book or be a speaker or commentator or something like that. When you get to the VP level, there are multiple ways to leverage that for relatively easy revenue streams.
What a different country we’d have if politicians took a vow of poverty.
The VP level doesn't even matter. To think someone with his work history, pensions and positions held will have difficulty in retirement is complete nonsense.
You don't understand, WDDT is a winner who knows grindset. Servants will be wiping his ass with gold toilet paper which means he wins.
If and when I ever have someone wipe my ass with gold toilet paper I do think I would call that a win, tbf.
Nothing wrong with it - and I’ve not said differently (as you know) but nothing wrong with the career path Vance chose either. Both men are allowed to choose a profession that they are drawn to and they know the risk/reward associated with them from day one.
Posters playing one upsmanship must not understand that.

These people are not only crazy, they make no sense!
- We need to get rid of elites and drain the swamp.
- Well known rich New Yorker is the guy that understands us.
- Venture Capital attorney is the perfect VP candidate.
MAGA
- Walz military service doesn't count.
- Walz doesn't have a high enough net worth for the job.

I didn’t buy or read Vance’s book. Lots of folks didn’t.
Choice is still a good thing.
If you feed the horse it can drag your plow to help you reap more oats.
Meanwhile the commies in China declared war on the sparrow:
The extermination of sparrows – also known as the smash sparrows campaign[1] (Chinese: 打麻雀运动; pinyin: dǎ máquè yùndòng) or the eliminate sparrows campaign (Chinese: 消灭麻雀运动; pinyin: xiāomiè máquè yùndòng) – resulted in severe ecological imbalance, and was one of the causes of the Great Chinese Famine which lasted from 1959 to 1961. In 1960, the campaign against sparrows ended, and bed bugs became an official target.
Harry Truman didn’t have a degree or a high net worth. He did okay.
If the party apparatchiks didn’t bend to the rabble rousers in Dearbornistan let’s be real. Shapiro would have been the choice.
Fat portfolio or not Walz is a huge lefty. He and KH are off the charts lefties.
You picked a socialist that doesn't have any money dude there is a giant middle ground.
Oh you arrived at silly hyper capitalist Protestant values from absorbing the ambient culture, congrats on being a natural dickhead.
Grew up poor and catholic bro, I knew I wanted the nice shit and stealing wasn't the way.
Maybe you grew up Catholic. Seems like they did a good job Americanizing you in Dport public schools. Apologia for cutthroat greed and looking down on those with different values has to be taught by Calvinists
No one questions that.
Have you looked at Trump's rally attendees? Most of them would be thrilled to have the Walz's income.
