One thing that truly rich assholes can't even begin to comprehend, which is something probably 99%+ of the country does, is what it's like to basically live paycheck to paycheck. Even most "well off" people live like that, or at the very least have had some experience living like that. Obviously higher income people who live that way have a bit more leeway to not live that way, although downsizing your life isn't always that easy, and living paycheck to paycheck is not the same as living in crushing poverty. But, still, it makes basic existence a constant stress which unemployed by choice Mittens has never felt.
