For many Americans, it's a struggle to make ends meet. For Ed Rogers, a Republican lobbyist, it isn't. How do we know? Because his wife, Edwina, wraps gifts in real dollar bills.

Rogers, formerly a deputy assistant to President Bush, is Vice Chairman of lobbying firm Barbour Griffith & Rogers. Rogers lobbies on behalf of Iraqi Kurds, who want the U.S. government to guarantee their autonomy from Baghdad as well as oil wealth from the contested city of Kirkuk.
