According to the passage, what can we know about the House of Representatives? [br]
The House of Representatives, which prides itself on being "the People’s House" has been turning into, a rich men’s club. The representatives newly elected in 1984 were almost four times as wealthy as the first term lawmakers elected only six years before, according to a new study on the members’ financial reports. Behind this remarkable swing, the study says, there are two main factors: a court decision that outlawed limits on what candidates could give to their own campaigns, and the enormous growth in the cost of pursuing a seat in the Congress. As a result, it is increasingly difficult for candidates of modest means, particularly women to amount successful challenges to entrenched office holders. One solution, the authors contend, is a system of public financing for campaigns, but the Congress seems in no mood to change the Political rules any time soon. " The lower chamber is going upper class," said Mark Green, the president of the Democracy Project, a public policy institute based in New York. "But this evolution from a House of Representatives to a House of Lords denies the diversity Grey of our democracy. It establishes a de facto property qualification for office that increasingly says: The people with low and middle income need not apply." The Democracy Project produced the study in cooperation with the United States Public Interests Research Group, a similar institute situated in Washington. But their research was not entirely theoretical. In 1980 Mr. Green was the unsuccessful Democratic candidate for the Congress in New York’s 15th District, in Manhattan. The winner was Bill Green, one of the wealthiest members of the Congress.
