Why did you cross out a word and then write a synonym right afterwards? I'd put an /s here, but well...

When politicians talk about "the country", whatever country they happen to be in charge of, they almost always mean the parts of the country that they think are important to the total exclusion of everything else. Or what they've been bribed to think of as important. Either way, that usually means "the rich, the important, and their agendas".

Likewise "the economy" is "the rich people's yacht fund".

(This latter one I stole from a viral tweet.)
