Ever wonder why Congress so often feels so out of touch with regular Americans? It’s because they’re not regular Americans! A study by the Center for Responsive Politics finds that out of the 535 members of the Senate and House of Representatives, 237 of them are millionaires. That means millionaires make up 44 percent of the members of Congress, compared to just 1 percent of all Americans. That’s a lot more millionaires!
