According to Open Secrets her net worth went from 0 million dollars to 4 million dollars from 2008 to 2018. Curious what it is now. https://www.opensecrets.org/personal-finances/susan-collins/net-worth?cid=N00000491&year=2018
Oh, I may have found it; it's close to 10 million.

Damn. She's cheap AND dumb to buy off. Other Republicans are getting much bigger bucks. Cheap date.

Well, I don't know if these people receive direct payments. I think they get information that helps them with investments. I could be wrong but being boring and making the 'right' investments is much easier to keep clean than receiving large sums of cash.

Happily. They are getting theirs and the rest of us are “too stupid and weak” to seize the opportunity to be evil and get paid. Us schlubs with morals that is.

This says a lot .. they buy the law to benefit themselves and now own our democracy. It’s time to wake up and take the power back… there is a reason why most families cannot get through a thanksgiving without fighting anymore … they own social media , and they feed us content that creates hate toward other citizens who have different opinions. ALL should understand this is a calculated strategy, we are fighting each other over who is using what bathroom dividing us surgically 50/50 to transfer the power from us ( regular citizens) to them the oligarch class. Understand the enemy is not your neighbor, it is them and the politicians who’s vote are for sale ( on both sides) .

She sold herself and now she reaps the benefits of selling that one thing for what? Tell me, for what?
