Knowing members of Congress' personal  finances is beneficial because then we can get an understanding of where their veiws and opinions are coming from. It is very difficult for us to believe that a very wealthy Congressman can represent the common American people and make decisions for the average American. I did not realize so many Congressmen were so wealthy, which makes me wonder how they can make decisions for us. How can these people make decisions that reflect our needs if they don't know what our needs are?
