Why becuase they are rich?   Is it a prerequisite to be middle class to have the people's interests at heart?

No, because it is fairly obvious they have never had to experience the day to day life and day to day issues that most people have.

Look at the bills they pass, where all that "pork" goes...

By no means should wealth disqualify someone from public service, but at the very least there needs to be term limits
