How many representatives do you have in Congress?


If you're poor, you have 3: 2 Senators and a Congressmen. If you're very lucky.

If you're working class, 2 Senators and a Congressmen. If you're lucky.

If you're middle class, 2 Senators and a Congressmen. At least, they'll say they're for you.

If you're rich, you have about 400: the entire Republican party and a goodly percentage of the Democratic party.
