sums up "the systems" in this LA Times Sunday piece:
Donors arrive at Hamptons fundraisers with advice for Mitt Romney
EAST HAMPTON, N.Y. – As protesters assembled on a beach in advance of Mitt Romney's evening event at the home of conservative billionaire David Koch, the candidate slipped to East Hampton for his first of three fundraisers on this tony stretch of Long Island.
The line of Range Rovers, BMWs, Porsche roadsters and one gleaming cherry red Ferrari began queuing outside of Revlon Chairman Ronald Perelman's estate off Montauk Highway...
A New York City donor a few cars back, who also would not give her name,
said Romney needed to do a better job connecting. "I don't think the
common person is getting it," she said from the passenger seat of a
Range Rover stamped with East Hampton beach permits. "Nobody understands
why Obama is hurting them.
"We've got the message," she added.
"But my college kid, the baby sitters, the nails ladies -- everybody
who's got the right to vote -- they don't understand what's going on. I
just think if you're lower income -- one, you're not as educated, two,
they don't understand how it works, they don't understand how the
systems work, they don't understand the impact."
