"I don't have $29 million ... but the portfolio owned by my irrevocable trust is doing very, very well."

Remember, "corporations are people, my friend," and those "people" can own stocks on behalf of other people, like congressmen. There's always a loophole to this shit. Imagine being so stupid to think the rulemakers impose limits on themselves. Did your parents impose a curfew on themselves? Does your boss write himself up if he's late to work? Wake the fuck up!
