Astonishing indeed! Rich people are always smart! joking! but actually, in your example you are right. We must notice that the governments are supported by rich people. The elections are won when money is used for good advertisement. Usually, rich people spend their money on politicians. In return, politicians help them to become richer and to pay fewer taxes. This is pure business. Nothing about friendship or love here. Rich people like business and for them, everything is business. Even life in our societies for them is business and paying taxes is not for them. Governments just need to be strong and fix this matter.
