There are simply actors at different essential levels of the dissipative hierarchies of human societies. Very, very few people (in any modernish country) actually want to reduce their consumption if they don't have to. We spend most or all of our money in order to maximize our physical or social power for our own benefit. Any money that may be left over gets is put in banks where it is promptly used by those who have an opportunity to produce more power for their own purposes.

The urban poor are just as beholden to the carbon system for their survival as the CEO of Exxon. We comfort ourselves by concentrating on the details. That allows us to ignore the big picture - the one that shows us the real face of the boogeyman, who just happens to look a lot like us.
