I say "cynically" because the rich fat cats understand deep down inside that they will never build a rapport; but that's o.k.; they still get the votes. I also believe these movers and shakers that provide lifelong welfare to these people could really care less if it helps them or not; again, it gets the votes.

beautifully put. (along with everything else in your post) this is a point which I was trying to elucidate to my (left-leaning) g/f just a day or so ago. the left may be the champions-by-default of "human rights" and other well-meaning causes, but - in practice - those on the left do more to separate themselves from the very masses which they claim to represent. in many ways, New Orleans is a case in point
