You obviously don’t hang with many rich people. They are regular people. They aren’t special, they just hit the right set of circumstances. Most of the smartest and hardest working people I know are actually not the richest. Capitalism doesn’t reward intelligence or hard work per se. It rewards accumulation of capital which has much more to do with circumstance, investment, and manipulation.
Ah yes, I too believe the lie that the wealthy got their wealth from being smarter and working harder than everyone else, and not because of vast amounts of luck combined with exploiting everyone underneath them.
Where “the economy” = “rich people’s yacht money,” yes.
If I was smarter and worked harder I could be rich too.

And exploitation.

You equate rich as better. You sound like quite the sycophant. Enjoy that.

I’ve got the version where Jesus tells rich people to give away all their belongings or they can’t get into heaven. Hope this helps.

The truly rich are rich of soul. If you need help achieving enlightenment, I would be happy to help you and take some money off your hands.

Give me some money first and I’ll give you half of it back.
Making deals like that it’s no wonder you aren’t rich
Once they give me the money it’s all mine, but I’m not going to lead with that.
Keep talking to yourself like that and you’ll find yourself at the barrel end of depression broke and alone.
