The more you have, the more you are at risk to lose from an unstable government.
And as I mentioned, there are a lot of sweetheart deals involving large corporations. I can't buy prescription drugs from Canada because it would force drug companies to have competition. Our government for some reason can't negotiate with the massive buying power they have with all the Medicare patients.
These kind of deals take place all the time. Banks and financial institutions get massive bailouts, easy access to interest free cash. This doesn't benefit the unemployed guy with nothing to his name, it benefits the guy who might have a few million with those banks that would lose it if they went insolvent. It benefits the guy with lots of investments.
The more you have, the more you have to lose if the system collapses.
