A Note from Author Matt K. Lewis
Did you know that more than 50% of Congress are millionaires? How about the fact that the median net worth of a member of Congress is about twelve times greater than the net worth of the median American household?
My name is Matt Lewis. For the last two-and-a-half years, I've been obsessed with something: How the rich get elected and the elected get rich.
As a Reagan conservative, I've dedicated my life to conserving our Founding Fathers' vision for America. Unfortunately, many good Americans are losing faith in this great experiment that has brought unparalleled peace and prosperity.
For this great republic to endure, average citizens must retain faith in the system. I'm not into class warfare, victimhood, or doom-and-gloom. That's why FILTHY RICH POLITICIANS doesnt just diagnose the problem, it proposes serious, commonsense reforms that will demand transparency and accountabilityand restore faith in the American system.

You can worry about both. You don't have to pretend it doesn't exist on the left.
