If you never understood the concept of the "wealthy, elite political class" then this photo essay of the candidates' houses should make it pretty clear.
Starting statistic - of the 100 Senators, 98 of them are millionaires. When the average American family of 4 brings in around $40k a year, it's no wonder most people don't think Washington has their ear to the needs of the people, after all many of our elected officials are so far removed from what most Americans live through and with every single day.
