they are not only arrogant snobs but are afraid of working people.  just 
about the only thing anyone can count on these "elites" for is not telling

similar fears coupled with an unwillingness to listen on the part of most 
politically oriented "middle class" people result in the "middle class" 
giving up on working people (and vice versa), and loosing their support.
