    I think the fact that there are ~40% of bills that both rich and middle class Americans oppose is pretty solid proof that congress doesn’t give a shit about what American citizens want them to pass… or am i misinterpreting this?

      Also, why the focus on rich and middle class? Is the vast majority of america not “lower”/working class? Edit: it seems like the entire conclusion of the study is based on the influence that money has in politics. Of course if you focus only on people with money then you will come up with a conflicting result…

        Us poor people aren’t actually people. What we think and believe doesn’t matter to people like the original commenter calling this “bunk”.
