I totally agree! But this is something that the insanely rich like Bezos Goldfingers and Darth Musk refuse to acknowledge. They think they are descendants of the pharaohs and other god-kings and that they built all their wealth themselves. But as you said, who dug the canals where they can float their yachts in? Who made the highways where they can drive their Teslas? Not Bezos or Musk, but ordinary Americans. They take the ordinary people and their labor, and the democracy and law-and-order systems that gave them freedom and a chance to pursue their wealth completely for granted. They are too rich, too entitled and too self-absorbed to see this interdependence.
