Big Boys and Fat Cats
October 19, 2006
Once a self proclaimed champion of the “little guy”, today Virgil Goode prefers to rub elbows with the big banks. In the 1970s and 1980s The Almanac of Virginia Politics repeatedly described Goode as one who stands up to the “big boys and fat cats.” Goode has changed and become a fat cat himself. He has accumulated wealth between $1,530,061and $3,978,000.

Goode currently holds between $450,000 and $1,100,000 in stock from several banks and has received over $78,000 in contributions from bank and financial institution PACs, and over $8,000 from individuals in these industries.

“This is yet another example of how Washington has changed Virgil Goode. I started my farm the same year he became a politician. I have worked hard for my family and my community for 33 years; he has worked hard for his bank account and contributors. It is time for a change. It is time to get rid of the politicians and focus on the needs of those working hard for their families, the middle class,” said Al Weed.

With Goode receiving a 0% rating for his voting record on middle class issues in 2004, and a 13% rating in 2005, along with his votes against increasing the minimum wage, Goode has apparently forgotten about the “little guy”.
