Actually, I do know very much what you mean -- and you're perfectly right. But the kind of disconnect Tabash exemplifies seems to be becoming increasingly commonplace. The worst part of it is, most of our elected representatives are among those who've become completely oblivious to what life is like for the rest of us; to take a single example, just recently we saw rich and bloated GOPers, all with free medical insurance courtesy the taxpayer, resisting like hell the notion of extending unemployment benefits. They have quite clearly clean forgotten what life in the real world is like. (Or they're unadulterated shits. Or both.)
