Simple: there are two Americas.
The first is the one that is populated by the wealthy and the elite; some people you've heard of, and a lot you've not. They're former Presidents and senators, important political donors, lobbyists, and a cloud of related individuals that orbit trust funds and old money. This America features well-groomed lawns, catered luncheons, executive offices, first-class health care, golden parachutes and custom transportation.
The second is where the rest of us live. It features waiting both in lines and on telephones, meals grabbed on the fly, taxation, potential observation and harassment by Federal or local security agencies, wildly varying health care, and advertisements on everything.
