I agree that what you said is overwhelmingly the case and an aphorism comes to mind:
"It is as foolish to think that you could be wealthy and not act like the wealthy as to think you could drink all day and not be drunk"
That said there are those rare individuals that hold their liquor so well that they can drink large quantities all day and every day and not be drunk. There are also those very rare human beings with great wealth who desire change. They are, of course, ostracized by those with power and cannot do reform on a large scale. If they could they would be shot, strangled or charge with some heinous crime that would turn everyone against them. It is hard to buck those that have real power. I hope CL continues to treat you well.

Quote from NoDoji:
The extremely wealthy do not desire change. They like things just as they are and already have control of everything (the popular media and our "elected" officials) needed to maintain the status quo. They buy both sides in elections, ensuring a win every time.
