How do you reconcile that some of the most respected and influential US politicians (the main authors of the US Constitution) were essentially rich people from well off families? If you think about it it makes sense: poor families do not have the luxury to care for societal level change or to promote it in any shape or form. They are more worried about putting food on the table, keeping themselves clothed and a roof over their heads. I think it's only logical that people who do not have to struggle with such issues are the ones that are more likely to influence political change, even if at a glance the changes they are proposing do not seem to directly serve their interests. Now whether their stated ideas are followed with action is a different matter.
