I agree with your thought on that,  but evidently Senators Wyden and Merkley have other ideas about wealth,  and since no House member gets to approve of Presidential appointments,  the discussion has to be about Oregon's two Senators who profess bipartisanship but practice the politics of division and disparagement.  They cannot be believed on any issues of wealth since they have acquired theirs while in office.  They are judging people who didn't acquire their wealth while in office,  and will most likely end up poorer for their experience serving,  which is not the case with our two Senators.
