Bridging the Gap: Voices of the Working Class

This chapter explores the disconnect between the wealthy elite and the working class, using a metaphor of mice and cats to illustrate this dynamic. It emphasizes the necessity of grassroots engagement and the importance of listening to the needs of everyday people, particularly in contexts like student debt relief and essential professions. Through personal experiences and reflections on political identity, the discussion advocates for greater representation of working-class voices in politics and challenges traditional notions of qualifications for political office.
