Really? No, not at all. He does this all the time. And by the way, low-income Americans are more likely to stay home from the polls so rich does not equal apathetic. Reality says rich people care more and vote more while poor people care less and vote less. Obviously those who care less don't feel as affected or else they would care more.
No sorry, you're completely missing it. Those in the upper class and most in the middle class can live their lives without worrying about what the government does, but what about those who have to worry about government supplied health care, disability payments, unemployment, food stamps, housing? What about those in the inner cities who hope the government will step in and fund schools, after school programs to get kids away from drugs, and infrastructure repairs? What about a poor kid who can only get a job in the military and gets deployed?
But I agree, many in this country can ignore the government for 364 days and pay attention only to grumble when they send the tax form in. The rest have a stake in what happens and I happen to care what government does for them, whether they do or not is not the question.
