Ever wonder why your congress critter never seems to really understand the problems you're facing? This may have something to do with it.
“The principal difficulty lies, and the greatest care should be employed, in constituting this Representative Assembly. It should be in miniature, an exact portrait of the people at large. It should think, feel, reason, and act like them.” - John Adams
I would like to note that the next Secretary of State, Lurch... sorry, John Kerry... Senator from Massachusetts, hand selected by our 'rich people are evil' president who is currently soaking up the sun in his taxpayer provided seven million dollar Christmas vacation in Hawaii, is worth a quarter of a billion dollars.
Just sayin'.
