So power beats wealth. Easy to see these days with today’s wealthiest people on the planet cowering and paying tributes to Trump.
Also, power is convertible into wealth, as countless politicians have proven, while wealth is not necessarily convertible into power (like Bloomberg’s failed presidential bid has shown).
In conclusion - it’s about power, specifically political power, and the individuals yielding it: the politicians.
