    Can’t expect change when all we elect are wealthy people who care more about their stock portfolios than their constituents.

      Yup. It’s pure insanity that most of Congress is made up of lawyers & businesspeople.

        Who should it be made of? Fry cooks and fork lift drivers?

          It should be made up of everyone. I don’t see any reason fry cooks and fork lift drivers shouldn’t be there, they definitely deserve representation.

          If you’re convinced those people are all too stupid or lazy for the job, then maybe you could at least get on board with engineers, doctors, scientific researchers, artists, farmers, teachers, etc. Anyone who works hard at whatever their chosen profession is should have a shot. But our current system selects for low ethical standards, improv skills, and self-preservation instincts rather than real achievement.
