There was a joke in the old Duck Tales cartoon about this.
One of Scrooge McDuck’s nephews was chastising his uncle for being needlessly frugal. “Why won’t you pay for this? You’re the richest duck in the world!”
Scrooge replied “And how do you think I got to be the richest?”
Oligarchs convincing We the People to vote for representatives who maintain systems of indifference and cruelty is how we got so damn rich to begin with.
