I'm privileged in much the same ways as most people here - I can make my own decisions with what I wear, where I go each day, what I watch on TV, what I purchase, etc.

Privileged is not something I would consider a politician to be. If you asked me who the most privileged people are in the world, I would say "White people born in and growing up in expensive localities and due - or possibly having already received - an inheritance."

The reason I say this is because politicians are, in some senses, not privileged at all. I personally have the privilege of going out and sleeping with a hooker with no strings attached. If I was to yell at someone in an angry fashion in public, be it a friend, a family member or - heaven forbid - a stranger (I don't think I yell at strangers, though) I would not find myself in the local papers the next day. I would not have to worry about bribery and blackmail in such a way. If you are well off from the moment you are born, then you are truly privileged, because you do not have to become famous for any role you play in any group. You already have the money, you already have the house, you already have the car.

That is privilege. Life as you want to live it, not for anyone else but yourself.
