This article sums it up quite nicely!

http://money.cnn.com/2014/01/09/news/economy/congress-millionaires/index.html?hpt=hp_t2

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. 
One of the gravest dangers to the survival of our republic is an ignorant electorate routinely feeding at the trough of propaganda.   -- Locutus
