In government, verbal classifications are abstract 'schemata' of 'real People'.

Classifications are abstract. The problem with classification is that, once a 'classification' enters the language, we get 'hooked' by it. We, then, no longer use the 'real' numeric formulations that gave rise to it, but instead use the 'linguistic term' for the 'classification'. 'Number' counts each and every variable and expresses it with a precise number. Number does not lie; verbal 'Classification' can. Of course, numbers can change, while classification 'schemata' retains its verbal 'fixity'. That's a danger, in all fairness, even with the so-called 1% and the 99% formulation. The percentages may change, but the terms remain fixed. However, I understand from recent numbers, that the situation is a lot worse than it sounds. Nevertheless, the extreme juxtaposition of the numbers reflects the absurdity of the imbalances in the economy. The 'distance' in the numbers comes from an emphasis on the value and importance of money as opposed to the value and importance of the 'freedom' and equality' of democracy. That's why the 1% has become interested in politics. In politics its possible to control Legislation, Judicial decisions, and executive 'applications'. Government has become 'driven' by an economic value system. The sanctity of the human condition is no longer a 'value' of government. Is it any wonder, that small 'collections', or tribes, of real human beings distrust the 'inroads' of government. Yet, government is essential to any 'condition of togetherness'. There is a 'real' need for government, and hence the democratic form stands out as the only 'People' government, that can be a government set up by the same People who are governed; a government "of people", "by People", and "for People"; but, not a government by some foreign People. Human beings are 'real', they are not "legal fictions".
