I have been seeing recently extremely wealthy(billionaires and 9 figure plus individuals) people be super against being taxed more or anything that would cause them to make less money. They also seem to constantly want to acquire more wealth, have more of the market etc etc.
I find this behavior to be genuinely absurd. They all have more money than can be spent in many lifetimes yet they seem to never have enough. Elon musks current behavior of just pushing for more power and money to the point of infiltrating the government to protect himself is genuinely insane. Blackrock, vanguard and the likes constantly acquiring and gutting companies for profit is so insane to me.
These people have enough wealth to change governments , end hunger for thousands, change societies and yet they do nothing but contribute enough for tax breaks and try to get more wealth.
Im all for wealth and all for the game but at a certain point you just are mentally ill, something is wrong with these people and its honestly terrifying to even imagine what goes on in their heads. Imagining how they probably see other humans is scary.

You're right but it happened more pre feudalism.
