(39,909 posts)They KNOW all about "the growing disparity in income, the millions uninsured, the millions losing their homes, the high number of unemployed and/or homeless."
The problem is that NONE of the above affects them negatively.
They are ALL safe members of The Elite Class,
and directly benefit from the conditions you describe.

In a shameful display of ultra Bi-partisanship seldom seen in Washington,
the members of our Elite Class,
Republican & Democrat,
Congressmen, Senators, and President,
joined together and delivered a $TRILLION DOLLARS CASH to Wall Street Bankers,
no questions asked, no strings attached
less than a week after receiving a 3 Page Extortion Note
that threatened the value of their Stock Portfolios.
Homelessness, Unemployment, Hunger, no access to HealthCare,
rising cost of the necessities, lower wages,
less pay for more work (increasing productivity)
does NOT affect these people.
ALL these problem just go away when they close their front doors.
