He sold his home when he moved into the Governor's Mansion and has pensions, but do keep trying, it's hilarious.

I think you missed the sarcasm.

Nope, the user they responded to appears to be an actual trumpet.

Just because someone isn't on your political side, you shouldn't jump to the conclusion that they are for the other side. I hate politics in general. It just so happens, on the whole, social media is mainly left of center. Hence, there are more people here spouting ignorant liberal dogma than conservatives spouting their own ignorant dogma.

But seriously, politics is dividing people more than ever, and that is not a good thing! My wish is that people would stop finding their identity in being "left" or "right"

Keep trying... trying to do what?

Sorry if criticism of a politician makes you feel some sort of way. Every politician needs to be criticized. Lemme lay something out.

Tim waltz (and family) finances. Facts: Tim owns no stock, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs. He owns no real estate, investment property, or otherwise (neither does his wife). He also has no 401k, IRA, or any retirement fund. His net worth is estimated to be 115,000$ to 330,000$. All this is not great, considering he's 60(ish?) nearing retirement. the average net worth for congresspeople and senators is around $1 million. His only legitimate source of income is his pension.

Pros or cons, we can decide for ourselves if all this makes him a better candidate for VP or not. We can make some assumptions, and one assumption I can make is that waltz personally seems to be financially ignorant.

There are other pros and cons about Waltz, but as far as finances, Tim Waltz is a scrub. And I think that these facts are very important when considering electing him into a position where he's at the controls for financial decisions for an ENTIRE country... whatever side you lean toward, all this should be concerning.
