Half The Members Of Congress Are Millionaires

Nearly half the members of the United States Congress are millionaires, according to a recent study.

[WSW} Of the 535 legislators (100 members of the Senate and 435 members of the House of Representatives), at least 250 are millionaires and the median net worth is $913,000.

Sixty-seven senators are millionaires and the median wealth of the body’s 100 members is $2.63 million.

This is our elected oligarchy. Now ask yourself who they really represent?
