Title: What's Wrong With Congress?
Post by: Palehorse on January 09, 2014, 09:01:22 PM
This article sums it up quite nicely!

For the first time ever, more than half of current members of Congress are millionaires, according to a new report from the non-profit Center for Responsive Politics.. . .

So 1% of this nation's population is represented very well by the majority of the members of congress, while the 99% majority is in the minority.

And we wonder why these assclowns are so disconnected with the middle-class, their issues, and their needs?  :mad:

You have to have money to to get elected. A good case for election funding reform/limits.

Too bad the SCOTUS isn't on board with that concept.
