Look at Russiaโs oligarchs. Hell, look at Hungary.
There was this one wealthy guy bankrolling Orbรกnโs campaigns, one of the wealthiest people in Hungary. He got into an argument with Orbรกn publicly. Today heโs neither wealthy, nor living in Hungary.
The people will not turn on rich people. Iโm saying rich people are used to be controlling politics, but in a Russian style system, rich people are controlled BY politics, not the other way around.
Heโs still alive and no longer in hungary? so like rich people might move to their vacation estate for a year or two? this is just ordinary rich people stuff except instead of doing it for a tax cut theyโre doing it because they publicly disagreed. Its theater. The whole point is to protect the money piles. It took russia like 20 years to start fussing about rich people that left the country
Imagine Murdoch arguing with Trump, trying to bankroll another party to rein him in, with it ending in him selling all his news outlets and retiring.
The point is that money doesnโt get you political power in this system.
