Hey found this quite interesting:

Interesting, for sure! Seems the elite rule whether by divine right or earthly riches.

Not too suprising though as they have to have the dough to be able to run for office. Though I do realize that that part of the campaigning is gettin/asking for/receiving money from various. But I have to agree about the elites. I know many people try to always talk about their party/candidate being a man of the people, but I personally don't know anyone with that kind of money.
