That's because Jon doesn't surround himself with these people. He tries to represent and write for a group of people he has little in common with (anymore?). You can't write about the poor people and subsequently sell overpriced Bon Jovi wine, shitty jeans, meet & greets and cruises. He constantly cuts out the same middle man he writes about which clearly indicates he sees no reason to better their life to begin with.
