A 1% chance of a 1% change in a $1B portfolio is worth $100k. Do you think it would be difficult to arrange for that 1% chance of a 1% change through plausibly deniable policy changes? Do you think it would be possible to achieve larger swings at higher reliability? How much do you think those plausibly achievable swings would be worth on a $1B portfolio? Working for a living and owning things for a living provide very different incentive landscapes that are often opposed to one another. Assets pay you in proportion to how much you own, so "owning things for a living" is roughly synonymous with a net worth above a line that lands somewhere between $10M and $100M depending on how you draw the line. In any case, if you work for a living, you definitely do not want to be represented by politicians who own things for a living.
