This is a reflection of the political policy of the day. Economics and capitalism being political policies dressed up with quant models and endowed academic chairs to rubberstamp the distribution of money. This is not universal physics. Same for the "Limited Liability Corporation", protections from Ex Post Facto law enforcement, and the like. Political constructs. Should people get pissed off enough, they won't matter. Now, the rich are good at not being the focus of the angry mob ... usually. But the point is, the rich are playing games with the core stability of the world, to say nothing of the viability of the interconnected web of species on the planet. It's frankly pretty nuts. The rich are insane. Sane people would not be doing this.
