Tangentially but in the same spirit:
The Video Congress Does Not Want You To SeeETA: Caveat to the video, I picked the biggest listed earner
McCaul, Michael (R-Texas) where at the stated site lists his net worth at $137,611,043 which seemed a bit high. I looked around and found this which states $23.93 million not a small sum but far from $137,611,043.

Michael McCaul
Michael McCaul is one of the richest US politicians.
10. Representative Michael McCaul (R-Texas) – $23.93 million
Representative Michael McCaul grew up in a fourth generation Texan family in suburban Dallas. Representative McCaul attended Harvard University. Representative McCaul worked as an attorney and as a federal prosecutor prior to entering politics, which no doubt helped build his wealth. Representative McCaul’s wife Linda comes from a wealthy family: she’s the daughter of Clear Channel Communications Chairman Lowry Mays, which may also add to his overall wealth.

There is enough garbage out there without creating more.
I regret posting the video, it came from a reputable source.
