No not really I didn't mean to stir it up only make a statement that the rich (really rich that is) are deciding how the rest of us are treated.
I know it sounds stupid, but isn't it just as true in China and Cuba and Venezuela as it is in America.
I tried to make sense of it, but I can't ... here's a list with adjustments for today's inflation values.
That might shock you

This list of richest American politicians includes current and former office-holders and political appointees, and is not necessarily adjusted for inflation. Estimated wealth is at least $100 million in 2012 dollars, for all the people listed here. The amounts listed here do not necessarily pertain to the politicians' time in office (i.e. some of them may have gotten much richer later on, or lost their money before they ran for office).
