that actually get things started to help increase min wage and stop cuts to welfare programs that most help people?

1. Your question has a built in oxymoron

"Realty" Show in the same breath as the word honest. There is nothing honest about any "reality" show.

And to answer your question, no; if true to reality show standards it would be so hyped up as to be unbelievable, and if true to life the ratings would be in the cellar.

2. The Buffets? Growing up Gates?

The travails of Bill Gates' kids not being allowed to use any Apple products and being forced to carry Windows Phone 8s?

3. there's enough already to make it clear

that the paris hiltons of the world can laze about, waste time and money, and need never care or worry for a thing.

people not only have no problem with that, but they enjoy watching it, covetously.

there's probably not quite enough that shows poor people actually working hard, very hard, to get nowhere, but it's not like that's a real hidden secret. it takes only a moment's reflection to realize that if you can't afford to eat out, you have to prepare all your meals yourself and clean up after yourself; and if your job doesn't pay much per hour, you need more jobs and/or more hours; and if you can't afford a car then you have to rely on public transportation, which, at a minimum, makes your effective commute time longer.
