His Father was a U.S. Representative from 1939-1944, 1945-1953, then became a Senator from the years 1953-1971. Father elected from the state of Tennessee. The family did not lack money, nor do they now! He could afford to take a job as a reporter because his family had money. He did a good job as a reporter; his reporting caused some high ranking officials jail time for corruption in office.

Al Gore is a shrewed politician. He got most of his money much like most politicians, by milking the American people.
