When you have that much money, there's not really much society can do to touch you.

I absolutely hate this mindset. I hear it now and then, and it's being used even by left wing politicians to hand over more money, power and control to the wealthy, because "they have so much power with their money already, there's nothing we can do". Oh ok. So just capitulate then? Because we're not starving to death? Nah fam. Work harder. Collaborate. Be creative. As creative as they are with their bookkeeping and finances. And if that shit doesn't work, it's violence time.
