I own a few taxis, lease most of them out and drive a few shifts myself every week. Being self-employed the fares I receive while driving are my paycheck. A significant portion of my clientele are poverty level and cannot afford to own a car. They take mass transit most of time but sometimes need to take cabs. Also there are a lot of elderly people who take cabs and many of them would qualify as poor. Other people in the service industry, like waiters, get part of their "pay check" directly from poor people.
Obama is clearly not from the wealthy elite class, this is fact no matter how much you'd wish it otherwise.
