People will let the elites talk to them like that actually. I am sure the WSJ could print an article saying "let rich people shit in your mouth, a solution to hunger" and people will still take it.
It's because they think the elites have "the secret" to getting rich, and that by listening to them and following their advice, they can become a billionaire too.
Of course, the "secret" is having rich parents, but they never mention that part...
