They are Pharisees.
Just as no group that claims to be "non-partisan" actually is non-partisan, few people who use the term "working class" in their writing or speech have a clue what real work is like. Odds are the closest they have ever been to a working person is on the other side of a drive-thru window, or delivering the mail at the office.
