Unrepresentative democracy

Politico reports that 237 members of congress are millionaires. That's 44 percent of our representatives. What's worse is that less than 1 percent of the US population falls into that category. This means that 99 percent of us are represented in Congress by people who simply have no idea of what we go through to feed our families, put a roof over their heads and provide the basics. And we call that representative democracy. But if political unrepresentation is marked, the economic inequalities are simply mind-blowing.
