For me, it's not that I think I will be ultra wealthy. But I have seen over and over where a rule (for example) may start with the ultra wealthy initially, but over time politicians gradually change the scope until it affects nearly everyone.

That’s not an argument in favour of the ultra wealthy, it’s an argument against bad rules. It’s not bad in and of itself that a rule which started with the most advantage is later applied to every one else (e.g. the right to vote).
