The Class Divide in Congress
I have a sense as do many Americans that somehow people serve in Congress and end up millionaires. What I learned as a candidate, even before I got to Congress was that you get to Congress because you're a millionaire. That is all the advantages in how we conduct our campaigns. Go to people who are themselves wealthy, who know other wealthy people, who have family who can help them. It's Democrats just as much as Republicans and sometimes more so. Part of that is Democrats tend to be older, but it is, it is real on both sides of the aisle.
