YOUR CONGRESSIONAL REP

In January from the Center for Responsive Politics we have this comment:

"Of 534 current members of Congress, at least 268 had an average net worth of $1 million or more in 2012, according to disclosures filed last year by all members of Congress and candidates. . ."

There is no doubt that these congressional representatives make no decisions that would materially affect their personal interests in a bad way.

Question is:

Why do we keep failing to elect people to congress who will represent the interests and desires of the rest of us?
