The President and Congress for the most part live in a bubble. They are so out of touch with the American People it isn't funny. I agree, vote them out. There are a few who do seem to be more in touch with reality, Tancredo and Hunter and probably some others.

Don't know about that. Being born into money makes one take it for granted, sort of like having perfect health. Some of the most miserable people I've met were rich. Does Britney Spears seem happy to you?
It's the power trip, even common folk get hooked on that. Do you think people like Al Capone were born rich? Honest or not politicos have the same mind trip, it's all about the quest of power.

Pretty much. Most of our elected officials never had to work their way up from humble beginnings. They generally were born into elite families with untold numbers of political connections. What is missing in our modern day representatives is a common ground with those who got them elected. I'd give anything to see a working class joe beat them at their own game. Until then, it's just going to be the same old-same old.
To JPC:Two good cases in point. In Illinois we have a pair of very similar politicos...The two *****- Durbin and Daley!

The problem is that you have places like California where Senators like Boxer and Feinstein get elected no matter how far left there policies are. You can do everything you can to change the congress person in your own district but you can't do anything about San Fransisco and Nancy Pelosi.

Being rich does indeed change people. But in and of itself, it does not guarantee corruption, vice, or or less-than-civil behavior toward "the masses." But when you combine primary character flaws with being rich, influential, privileged, AND "untouchable" because of the aforementioned factors, this mutates most humans into something which I am sure few of us would recognize: the "Elite." Let me put it this way: if you were worth billions, from a politically and financially influential family, and could buy or lie your way out of anything, would you seriously think of the "common people" the same way?
