I disagree...though they may not be part of 'the working class' by the time they enter politics, I'd guess that many if not all politicians grew up in 'working class' families.
John Edwards is one. We all became familiar with his annoying mantra about his father working in a mill, etc.
Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton were a few others who despite the heights they reached, most certainly were raised in 'working class' families.
There are plenty more.
