United States of Influence: Why is Congress a millionaires club?

Great post on CBSNews.com today as part of their "United States of Influence" series:

"As a congressional candidate, "every waking minute of every day is devoted to that campaign," said Doug Heye, a former spokesman for the Republican National Committee. "It requires an extraordinary amount of time, and it becomes difficult for a lot of people if you have a full-time job... When you've got a mortgage to pay and college tuition and braces to pay for, those kinds of day-to-day, real-life expenses come before putting six months into a campaign.""

At what point will people start feeling like they're being treated like serfs?
