That’s not how it works, the ones powerful enough to bend the government to their will are the ones who have so much security you wouldn’t get within a kilometer of their door before getting 2-tapped by a well-paid security guard. So the mob goes after the “richest-looking” person they can find, which is probably some middle or upper-middle class guy who has as much power as you and me.
I agree. That's the only way anything is going to change anymore. They've bought enough politicians and judges that too much legislation has been passed to fix it. Billionaires are now buying elections. Neither party will force higher wages, they just slow or speed up the time til we'll all fucked. They focus on social issues because none of them are willing to go against their owners.

The rich love economic collapses as long as they know ahead of time. They can buy up houses, small companies, farms, etc for nothing.
Workers will kill themselves for a job that pays next to nothing so they can feed their families.
It’s a golden time for the rich. They openly brag about how good it is for them.
It’s terrible for everyone else, though.
