A lot of people have left-leaning economic views ( tax the rich ) but there’s basically no political or media representation of those views. ( because the rich run the media and government )

This is the correct answer.

There is social liberalism to satisfy mainstream liberalism but there is little to no representation on behalf of fiscal liberalism.
