You are behind the times. The left is now the domain of the affluent. They couldn't give a damn about the underprivileged. They've redefined all the relevant terms, so they can feel good about their nasty ways.
Your comment is straight out of the Trump playbook!
The Democratic Party in the USA is labelled "the Left" by their opponents, although it is still the same stuffy old conservative bunch it has always been, but the other mob, who are well financed by "affluent" people has lurched to the Right,& in doing so, their extreme members are spouting all the silly "The WEF want to rule the world", "The Lizard people", "It's the Jews" stuff, the like of which, back in the 1970s/80s was the province of the nuttiest extremes of the Left.
For some reason, some working Americans are quite sure that an alleged billionaire is going to defeat all those imaginary foes, fix all the ills of society & usher them to the Promised Land.
In Oz, Rightwing crazies (many of whom have never raised a sweat working), love to characterise those that they disagree with as "latte sipping, smashed Avo (avocado, not the Model 8"), eating Leftist, inner city elites".
If the coffee shops had to rely upon "elites" for business, they would go broke!
Hell!--McDonalds sell latte!
Dismantling the "smashed Avo" thing a bit further, if I, or most other people want avocados, you can buy them pretty cheaply, make some toast smash 'em yourself, add salt & pepper, & there you go!----Hardly caviar or Pâté de foie gras!
Certainly in this country, the wealthy are solidly ensconced in the Right Wing of politics, but "Right Wing" comes in several flavours:-
Real, old style conservatives who are closer to what is laughingly called the Left these days, real, raving loony quasi Trumpists, & the "chancers", who are not beyond using the loonies to advance their agenda, only to drop them like a hot spud if things go the wrong way.
