5. I don't think it's that simple.

What I see is people in all income brackets speaking up against the problem. Some of the ultra-wealthy are buying political influence (let's be direct, they're buying governments).

Many people, including some of those who are very wealthy, recognize that this is a direct threat to democracy. It is a threat to all of us.

Just being a billionaire isn't going to protect somebody from the madness and chaos that some billionaires are unleashing.

This is a war between good and evil, not the rich vs. the not rich.
