all of these "consultants" enjoy having lots of money thrown at them for their "wisdom", but they also generally aren't of a social class to actually know what things are like among anything other than maybe, possibly, among the upper edge of the middle class, if they have some relatives or friends who are at that level.

I doubt Carville has talked to a poor person in 40 years, heck, I doubt he speaks to anyone under 50 on a regular basis about any of this.
