Nader & Cisco Systems
According to the Washington Post, in a standard presidential campaign filing, Ralph Nader has disclosed that 32 percent of his entire net worth of $3.8 million is invested in Cisco Systems stock.

Cisco Systems is one of the many companies exporting jobs.

I'm interested to know what Ralph will say about this.

2. Not surprising.
Nader is not as principled as many claim.

3. Guess he never heard of a diversified portfolio
Does ANYONE have 32% of their wealth in one stock (unless it's their own company)?

Unless he has some insider information.

4. Compare with the true man of the people DK
Profiling Kucinich in The New York Times Magazine, Marshall Sella describes him this way: "The candidate is not a wealthy man. He spent much of his early life hovering at the poverty level, living in 21 dwellings by age 17 (and two of those 'homes' were cars). Today he estimates his net worth at 'something like twenty thousand dollars -- somewhere in the low zeroes.' Say what you like about Kucinich; money has no draw for him. In politics, that's as near to evidence of possessing principles as one is likely to find." (The New York Times Magazine, Dec. 21, 2003)
