I agree wholeheartedly. It's shocking that you have to be rich to run for high office.
Here in Britain the Labour party (Blair's party) was founded to represent the interests of the Working class. In the early days many of its members of parliament had come up through the trades unions. These days they're all lawyers and academics and businessmen.
