Why do the questions never include my purchasing power, given my current financial situation?

This is what 50% of the population cares about, yet their votes are stolen away by focusing on things like immigration and terrorism.

The mismatch in these questions is why lower social classes often vote for populist right wing parties, instead of in their own best interest.
