But of course the 1percenters don’t live in the same world that we do. They don’t see with their own eyes the same things that we see. They don’t attend weekend barbecues with people who are unemployed and can’t find work; they don’t notice the little signs of decay, or the big signs, depending on one’s town of residence, signaling a permanent shift in municipal thrive; they don’t talk with their friends about how lots of families like theirs used to get by on a single adult income, and now families of the same size are struggling with two adult incomes, or more. Tommy and his kids had to move back in with his parents. These aren’t conversations that the 1percenters are having. Because they are utterly detached from the people to whom this is happening.
