Yes it means poor people too, problem is that the majority of the population will always be able to vote in candidates who serve their interests. With a massively growing poor class, we can only anticipate even more class warfare and increased social services in the future

No, the poor people have a support system in place that apparently works.
They are "those people" according to some folks running for office.

If their Americans.

Originally it was probably more like "white landowning males"
Eventually we have interpreted it to mean all citizens. All three branches seem to be ignoring that though. They've all been bought by powerful corporate interests.

Originally no. You have to have property worth a certain value, and of course be a male.

Originally, it didn't. Remember, in the beginning you had to be white, male, and a property owner in order to be allowed to vote.
