Really? OK.
How many Greens do we have in Congress?
How many asians, blacks and women? Is it the same percentages as can be found in the population?
How many devout Christians? How many Jews? How many atheists?
How many farmers?
How many professors?
How many are from the middle class?
...and so forth.
Those are rhetorical questions and anyone reading them understands my point. The federal House is a country club that is largely controlled by elites and special interests. Instead, it should look much more like the citizenry.
