The current United States 112th congress:

My question is this. Whom do you work for? As I recall your job description entailed being a public servant, meaning that you work for me, for them, for us. You serve our wishes and our needs. We are the ones who elect you. Please tell why the wishes and needs of the people who actually elect you are being forgotten and ignored. Tell me why the people who have elected you can't pay for school, for hospital bills, or for a home. Tell me why the small number of people that can pay for the best schools, the best medical care, and the nicest houses get the tax break, why do you work for the people that didn't elect you? Why don't you work for the American People?

This is a consequence of buying cheap Chinese junk at WalMart:

Really, the fact that congress no longer responds to it's constituents is a consequence of buying cheap chinese crap?

OccupyWallStNYC tweeted this chart earlier. A little bit of perspective here:

You do realize that regardless of the fact that they may be greedy, they are STILL american citizens who have a voice. The problem is that the rest of america is not being listened to. You can't just lump it into US or THEM, that will, as it always has, get us nowhere.
